Good afternoon all.

I know a Child is automatically a British Citizen, after 2006 Parents from EEA Country has to be living in Uk 5 years prior to the Child's birth to be able to apply for the British Passport.

This case follows:

Child was born in UK in 2017. Parents are from EEA Country ( Italy )
Parents first arrived in UK in 2016.
Parents have Pre-Settle status at the moment.

Is there a route so this Child can apply for British Citizenship or British Passport in this situation ?

Is much appreciated any help.
Thank you

Not yet. You can only apply to register the child as British on form MN1 once either parent has settled status. The cost of MN1 is currently £1023. Passport is a separate application.
