No.   You do not need any sort of form from your daughter.   One word of caution---since we do not know anything about your daughter........if she files a tax return for 2021 and claims the child even though you have been the one who has had her child---if she files first then your e-file will be rejected.   If that happens, you can still file your tax return that claims your grandchild but you will have to print, sign and mail it.
