If father was British at time of daughter's birth in the UK then she is British in her own right and you can just apply for her passport, no need for father's consent.

So you have no legal status in the UK??

Did you pay for all your maternity and NHS use?

Do you mean you have 'NO' legal status?? So you are an overstayer??

If so, you are required to pay for all your NHS use, it is not free and not paying your bill can result in a visa refusal as HO do check with NHS.
