Hi,
My child was born on April'09 in UK and we have a permanent residency since feb 2010. since july 2010 we have been living in india due to child care problems and have visited uk once in 2012 for a month's time. now we are planning to apply for a british passport for my child who is 5 yrs old as we are travelling to UK this year. Is it possible to apply for his british passport if we are not residing in uk since last 4 years but now wil be settling in UK only for obvious health issues of my child?

Child is not automatically British. You need to register the child under section 1(3) on form MN1 before you can apply for a passport.

Children born in the UK are only automatically British and able to apply directly for a passport if they are born AFTER the parents have ILR.

Are you aware that you lose your ILR status if you are away from the UK for 2 years?

your ilr was granted after daughters birth so you need to register her on mn1 under section 1(3)
