I made a new thread relevant to this question about my baby. I found this rules on IND website, anyone please explain more. My understanding is that my baby can be registered as British citizen if I become settled before she's 18? So that means I don't have to include her as a dependant?

Here is section 18...

" Rights to registration as a British citizen

18. If a child does not become a British citizen at birth, he or she may be entitled to registration as a British citizen later. This will happen if either parent becomes a British citizen or legally settles here before the child is 18; or if the child stays here until age 10. If the child is not entitled to registration, the Home Secretary may decide to allow registration. "
