It can take 16 weeks or more from Pakistan.

Child will be British by Descent, i.e. cannot pass citizenship onto their children if born abroad.

A naturalisation certificate CAN be reissued.

Likely HMPO will want to see original documents.

Only one parent needs to be British at the time of birth for the child to be British by descent.
