Do I go for passport or ROA ( which one is quicker )

ROA is quicker but costs more and is only valid for as long as the foreign passport is valid for.

I’m Passport form do I need to fill countersignatory section must or it’s optional .

It is NOT optional. It is mandatory for ALL passport applications.

Hi,
I have recently applied for Child British passport in Pakistan.

You have to first email hmpo@gerrys.com.pk to book an appointment at the VFS Global Centre in Pakistan (https://visa.vfsglobal.com/pak/en/gbr/hmpo0 ) . You can share three dates with them on email with the City where you want to book an appointment, they will email you back with an appointment date/letter with list of documents required (they have sent a word document with a list of documentation, i cannot share it here as it does not allow me so uploaded here --> https://smallpdf.com/result#r=87f98e526 ... e-document )

Father British passport (All pages)
Mother Pakistan passport (All pages)
Father Certificate of Naturalization
child 2 passport size pictures (1 picture needs to be signed by countersignatory)
Father NADRA Card
Mother NADRA Card
NADRA FRC
Child any hospital or medical records
Hospital Child Birth Certificate
Child vaccination records
mother antenatal records
NADRA/Union Council Birth Registration Certificate
Mother/Father Marraige Certificate (NADRA)
True Translation of Urdu Marriage Certificate
Wedding/marriage Photographs
Child photographs with father and mother
Payment form with your credit card/debit card details. They charge around 96 pounds some pennies for the application fees and the courier fees.

Color copy (when possible) of every document with attesttion
Make sure the child picture is counterisnged by a British Citizen as this helps to process the passport application faster (saw this info on some guidance notes).

On the appointment date, you or your wife can take all the documents with you. Take two folders, one for photocopy/attested documents, one for orignals. They took all the attested photocopies from me and did not checked the orignals. They will provide you a receiving receipt letter with a DHL tracking number. What VFS is doing is just sending the application to LiverPOOL HMPO. Make sure you have you put your email address correctly as any updates are normally sent to the email address (as what vfs staff told me but not the case ) . HMPO will send the passport to the VFS centre where you have submitted the application and it has to be picked up from there, generally takes 6 month to process passport applications from abroad (hear that from one of the vfs guys).

For countersignatory, i had a friend who was a british citizen who did the counter signature. For attestation, you can visit the notary public which can do the attestation
