How and when did you become or are you British? Were you British at the time of the childs birth?

A British passport from Pakistan can take anywhere between 16 weeks and 12 months.

I asked if you were British when the child was born, NOT where the child was born. You haven't stated when or what year the birth was!

You cannot apply for a British travel document if the child has never held a British passport previously. You could apply for a Pakistani passport and then apply for a certificate of entitlement to right of abode, provided you were British BEFORE the child was born.

You can apply for a British passport. Where did I say that you cannot??? You cannot apply for a British emergency travel document is what I have said. I also said the passport could take many weeks or months from Pakistan.
