In addition to registration taking a lot longer when done from abroad, keep in mind that it is a lot harder to arrange referees when abroad (because there are fewer non-family British citizens abroad who can vouch for the identity of the child) AND first British passport applications from the sub-continent can take six months to a year AFTER the registration certificate is received. And as a British citizen, your daughter can’t apply for a visa to enter the UK and will have to apply for a British passport.
Much quicker for the child to undergo the process in the UK.
