One parent on ILR, new born on child passport query

[helpingperson]

Hello

If one parent has ILR and they have a baby who is born in UK after parent has ILR, can child apply for British passport directly? If yes how?

Will we apply for child British Passport at any post office and no need to apply to Home Office?

Not able to find clear answers.

Thank you.

Yes. Passport directly.

Thank you.

Do we need references are they are required for MN1 or in this case not required?

Do we have to send original documents in post or post office can see and verify so we don't have to send originals?

I understand we can fill form online or pick up hardcopy from any post office branch.

You need someone qualified who knows you for at least three years to countersign the application form and photograph.

Ask at a post office about document verification.
