Thank you for the help, 3 weeks now :)

i have another question if you or anyone can maybe answer, The requirement is to provide 2 pcs of ID in order to apply for a citizenship certificate, which ID i can use and are acceptable for the newborn?

As I only have Child Registration Certificate (CRC) and a Family registration Certificate (FRC)?

In Pakistan I can get the newborns NICOP card but I wont be able to apply without a Limited Validity Passport of the child

Do i have to get a Pakistani passport for the child

I'd suggest reading the instructions. My understanding is that for newborns and children, sometimes getting sufficient ID is a problem and that you can provide an explanation as to why it is missing as it can vary by country. Again, speak to the consular section of the high commission.

Typically a birth certificate and national ID/passport would be sufficient. But again - instructions.
