Im applying for my children's first british passport. They live in pakistan and I live in the UK.
The issue is that i dont have any pictures of me with the children.
So can i use DNA evidence beforehand with my application? Or do i have to wait for HMPO to request it.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Its not required but i know they will reject application because of weak evidence.

Hiw old is the child?

What do you mean by "weak evidence"?

Are rhe circumstances complex?

You were already advised in 2019 not to overthink the process!!

MY DAUGHTER GOT BRITISH PASSPORT 2 YEARS AGO.
HERE ARE THE DOCUMENTS U NEED IF YOU ARE FROM PAKISTAN
1. Your British passport
2. Your nationality certificate
3. Wife's passport if there is any
4. Wife Birth certificate
5. Marriage certificate
6. Child Birth certificate from Council and also i recmond you to ask hospital to issue u a birth certificate ( do not send Hospital birth certificate with the application. Keep it with in case they will demand during process)
7. Child Registration Certificate for under 18 FROM NADRA(CRC)
8. Family Registration Certificate from Nadra (FRC)
9. Wife's doctor visits during pregnancy and hospital Birth record like admission and discharge papers
10. Husband travel history by the time she got pregnant
11. Wedding pictures few
12. Child pictures after Birth. Its good to have pictures with mother and other close family members. I was by my wife when our daughter was born so i took pictures with me and my wife but you were not there, nothing to get panic

The HMPO did not ask me to submit any other documents except mention above. I was called for an interview at Victoria Station passport office which was just to see me in person and asked me show recent pictures or videos of the baby from phone in WhatsApp. It was easy and short talk and then after couple of weeks we received her passport from Lahore VFS
