So I was looking into getting my US born daughter registered with the UK embassy so I can get her UK passport. Now looking at the price it is around $300, plus around $140 for the passport. Now the question is do I need to register her birth and get a UK birth certificate to get her UK passport?

Obviously if that is what needs to be done then it will, but I got another son who i need to get a passport for, both US and UK, plus my daughters UK and US, then my naturalization fee (around $700), and this needs to get done before we fly to the UK for my sisters wedding next year. It is starting to add up.

I would do anything it takes to get your daughter a UK birth certificate and passport. If she has those then she will always have a choice of where she lives. There are many advantages to having dual citizenship (not every country allows dual citizenship).

I understand the high cost involved with all of this but it would be much easier to do this now than leave it and maybe end up not being able to do it.

You could always wait until after your sisters wedding to file for your citizenship, you can file at anytime after you have met the conditions.

If money is the problem, you only really need a US passport for your daughter/son immediately. That will be fine for taking them on a visit to the UK. Once your money situation improves, take care of the UK citizenship aspect. I'm not aware of any time limit for doing so.
