You don't have to. It is not compulsory.
It is optional. You can register the birth of the child with the British diplomatic authorities in the country where the birth took place, if for some reason, you want the birth to be entered on the birth registers in the UK.
Yeah thats true …we are happy to provide if they are available ..but in our case .. our parents never recorded their births and marriages in those days in India (1955’s year) so unable to provide .vinny wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 8:55 amI don’t understand why they require documents of child’s grandparents? They are irrelevant under Section 2(1)(a) when child’s father is British otherwise than by descent via naturalisation.
Ask whoever asked for the grandparents’ details to explain their relevance?

I just looked at the early stages of the online application, when applying from The Netherlands. I see a message
Grandparents’ details
Based on what you tell us, we may ask for their:
name, date and place of birth
date of marriage or civil partnership (if this applies)
I did not follow it through by making an actual application, of course. But I am hopeful all references to grandparents will disappear as soon as you go through the whole process of applying, because, as Vinny pointed out, your child qualifies as British via one parent's naturalization, rendering grandparents' details irrelevant.
