The relevant documents required in a Section A application under MN1 are as John has correctly guessed:
a) the child's UK birth certificate;
b)evidence of mother's settled status i.e. passport with ILR sticker.
(if the parent concerned would have been the father), proof must be submitted that the parents were married, but this does not apply here as the parent's are not married.

If the application is to register the child as a British citizen under section 1(3) of the 1981 Act (parent acquires British citizenship or settled status after child is born) then if the requirements are met it is an *entitlement* and parental consent is not required. Ref section 8.6 of the following chapter of the NIs:Smit wrote:Chess,
SECTION A applications only need to complete parts 1-5, 12-13 and 16 and 17 of the form.
If it is not convenient for both parents to give their consent on the application form, written consent of the father can be given in a separate letter.
If the father's consent cannot be obtained, the reason should be given in part 16a, e.g. is dead, has nothing to do with the upkeep of the child as mother not married to father, cannot be traced, objects etc. If the latter, a separate letter giving the reasons for objecting should be sent.
This info is as far as I know. Others can comment.
