Newborn baby & citizenship

Hello

I had an ILR last year and a newborn daughter this year, I am wondering if my daughter has automatically the citizenship or I do need to register her and pay £973 as stated here: https://www.gov.uk/register-british-cit ... after-1983

If not, how can I apply for her to get the passport?
Can anyone tell me the process to follow, please?

Kind regards

Where was the child born?

If born in the UK, apply for first child passport.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

Do I have to send my original biometric card when applying to get her passport or a copy is enough?
