Translation of documents for passport application

[colourfulpen]

My daughter (21) has applied for a British passport. Her father is British but we never married so she is not automatically a citizen through him. I am a German citizen and the government website says that if the child was born in the UK to a mother who was an EU citizen, living and working or studying in the UK, the child is automatically a British citizen.
She applied for a passport assuming citizen ship on these grounds.
She now has to send in documents of the parent, either
'the non-British passport they had when you were born showing indefinite leave to remain' or my 'full birth or adoption certificate'.
Am I right to assume my EU passport from 1999 would show indefinite leave to remain? Also, although I studied before giving birth at the time of her birth I was not working or studying, is this ok?
I am also struggling to find my 20 year old passport.
If I were to send in my birth certificate would I need to get it professionally translated? Translation services seem to be upwards of £60, the document consists of 13 German words, all of which are very obvious to see the meaning e.g. date of birth, parents, place of birth
Will I really need to pay £60 to translate this if I can't find the passport?

Thank you for any help!

EU passports are not always stamped with a right to remain so you may be looking for something that doesn't exist.

EU passports are not always stamped with a right to remain so you may be looking for something that doesn't exist.

Would EU law at the time, with the freedom of movement, not mean that right to remain is assumed with an EU passport. Why would the passport need to have been stamped if EU citizens could freely live and work in the UK as a British citizen could have? Thanks!

wrt right to remain- that can be proven by provinding your p60 of the qualifying period.
or letters of regular and uninterrupted nursery/school attendence for a qualifying period.

thank you! should be able to find those somewhere....

I don't think your passport will do it.

dh is Dutch, his passport doesn't and never has shown where he is living. He now has indefinite leave to remain, he had to apply for it (due to Brexit) and to prove it, he had to supply a continuous chain of documents showing that he has been resident here. He used council tax documents. Fortunately he had kept all the back copies.

You need to ask what for of documentation they will accept.
