First your husband must become British citizen before applying for a passport.

To be eligible for British citizenship, he must meet the requirements listed in the link Lucapooka posted. He must then apply using form AN, pay a fee and if application is granted, attend a citizenship ceremony. Then he becomes a British Citizen and he can (if he wishes ) to apply for a passport.

Click on the link of form AN in my previous post. The last page of the application form has a list of documents required.

The earliest he may apply for naturalisation is 26-Jan-12.
After being naturalised, he may apply for a British passport - as already suggested by Jambo.
