Child’s Birth Certificate showing parent(s) name.

Thanks CULLINAN
Will that be the ONLY proof needed to be submitted for each of them (and will be sufficient)?
Thanks

They will ask for parents' marriage certificate and a letter from both parents that they agree for a child to register as british citizenship (we wrote one letter for each child, signed by both parents).
If you are not married to the other parent, and/or they do not want to sign such a letter, there might be additional documents needed (court order? proof of sole custody? etc.)

Will the form - CONSENT TO THE APPLICATION, not be sufficient? (instead of writing letter, as both parents signed on the form)

When I applied (online in 2019), there was no special "CONSENT TO THE APPLICATION" form offered, so we wrote a free form letter of consent, signed by both parents. This is what I refer to.
I believe paper application contained a special form once..
