What date were you naturalised?
Were your children born abroad?
Were they born before you became British?

Then they are automatically British by descent and can apply for passports directly.
Are you married to their mother?
Are you named on their birth certificates?
HMPO might request DNA proof of paternity.

Yeah I am married with their mother and they both named after my surname. Can I then apply for their British passport here in the UK or from the British High commissioner?. Many thanks

My understanding is that they apply in home country.
Your wife will still need a spouse visa though to come to the UK.
