Sorry if I'm missing some details:
Can you clarify, your daughter was born in the UK, four years old - pre-dates the Settled Status scheme - did you/your wife have EU PR at the time daughter was born? Or has she been registered (MN1) since then.
If she qualifies for a British passport there is no requirement to have a valid foreign passport.

Yes my daughter born in uk and currently she is holding a EU passport because my wife is EU citizen.... now my daughter has settled status and me and my wife also has settled status......

Her current EU passport expired ......

Unfortunately, that doesn’t answer the question of whether or not a parent had automatically acquired PR or not at the time of child’s birth.

What does this means?

Do we need to renew her european passport first to apply for british passport?

Hi...
We did not apply MN1

Neither me n my wife has PR at the time of birth of my daughter but that time my wife has living more than 5 yrs in uk but she did not applied any kind of PR...

If mother could have successfully applied for confirmation of PR prior to giving birth in the UK, then child may apply for British passport directly. Else, child is entitled to register first.
