Hi All , Need some advice on how to apply for British Citizenship / Passport for a child born to
British Parents ( Parents are Naturalized Citizens ) .
Currently we are in India ,I already have 2 kids they were born in UK and are British Citizen.
Appreciate if someone can let me know the procedure and processing time.

Apply for a passport directly. It can take many months from India, plan accordingly.

If both parents are British citizens, the only choice is a British passport. It has been reported to take six months to a year when applied for from the Subcontinent.
Note that as the child is born outside the UK, any children born to that child (your grandchildren) outside the UK will not be British citizens. British citizenship only descends automatically to one generation outside the UK.
