UK born child for ILR Parent, Do I need to register British Citizenship before applying passport

[ji_fairacre]

Hi There,

I am very confused while applying for a passport for my UK born child. Both Myself and my wife are in ILR when she was born which means as per the guidance, we don't need to register as British Citizen

is my understanding correct ? if 'No' which form I should use to register her Citizenship?

from the Gov site ,
If your parents were not British, Irish, EU or EEA citizens when you were born
You’re a British citizen automatically if when you were born at least one of your parents was living in the UK and had any of the following:
indefinite leave to remain (ILR)


If 'Yes' , I believe , we must apply for British Passport directly ?
Actually I was doing the same , but unfortunately when I am selecting the Option that I don't have British Passport, system was asking the details of Grand Parents and their Birth and Marriage certificate which I don't have it.

Could you please help me and guide us what should I do ?

Thanks,
Jiju.

There's only one application for all pathways to British citizenship. Details of grandparents not required. When you are at the stage of submitting the application you provide as documents child's UK birth certificate showing your name as well as your BRP card dated before child's birth date.

Just to make sure, was your child born BEFORE or AFTER you got ILR?? Your previous topic in October 2022 states the child was born before you got ILR and had a dependent visa which expired. Is this the same child you are asking about or a recent new born?

Its a new born after we got the ILR.
My daughter case which mentioned in the Oct post resolved and we were able to register her British citizenship and also applied for her British passport.

thank you so much for the responses, I will submit the application as you guys suggested.
