What is your immigration status??

If neither parent held ilr before the child was born then the child is not British and cannot apply for a passport.

You have to register the child as British on form MN1 first.

What and all documents I need to provide for MN1?

The online form will tell what minimal documents are required. Usually parent passport, ILR BRP, child birth cert
how long does MN1 takes?
Anywhere between a few weeks to 6 months, sometimes longer.
do i need a solicitor support for this application or shall i try myself?
You don't need a solicitor. It is not a difficult application to make.
do we need to provide cover letter like UK visas?
No, you are not apply for a childs visa.

Mn1 does not require originals. You upload all the documents on the ukcvas sopra website.

Only the ilr parents passport and brp is required to be uploaded.
