No British passport for child if neither parents are British, as child is not British.

What leave does the child's other parent have?

Child born in Uk dec 2012

Hi,

Hope all is well. can someone please advice how can I apply for British passport for my daughter.
1. Child born in UK - Dec 2012
2. I have got my ILR Feb2015

If one parent has ILR I understand first i need to register by daughter as British Citizen and fill the form S3 and declare her as stateless?
My child just has her birth certificate and born in UK no nationality. Or do i need to fill form MN1?

please advice.

Your child is most likely not stateless, use form MN1. Your daughter will have, most likely, at least 1 of the parents nationalities, if not both if different.
You can register to become a British citizen if you fulfil all of the criteria:

you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983
you’re under 18 when you apply
one of your parents has become a British citizen or settled in the UK since you were born
