I was recently naturalized. At the ceremony the USCIS people took my green card and those of my children as they are now citizens. The problem is how do i get a passport for them? I only have their foreign birth certificates and passports. I have my US citizen certificate but they have no proof of citizenship. I know that I can file a N-600 but that is $1000 per child and that seems expensive, are they going to send certificates for my children? The kids are 13 and 17. Thank you for your help!

My husband was just naturalized.  At the ceremony, they advised you to apply for passports for your children along with YOUR citizenship certificate.
 
But.
 
They said sometimes the Dept of State won't accept that, and asks for a certificate for the child.  In which case you have to pay $1k to receive one.  They advised you to apply without it, and "see how you get on".
 
It sounds ridiculous to me.  Left hand not talking to the right.  USCIS says you don't need one, but it's up to the Dept of State, who sometimes don't know you don't need one.  

They might've been referring to the requirement that the children's applications include the parent's original certificate: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Child-Citizenship-2000-Sections-320-322-INA.html "the passport application must include the following proof of acquisition of citizenship under the INA Section 320"
If so, that would corroborate the experiences I mentioned earlier. Then applying for 1 passport at a time would be the way to go.

Hi just apply for passport for your kids using your naturalization certificate thier birth certificates and the Philippines passport that had I-551 make a copy each of it for both of your kids then you need to notarize every copies to make certified true copy from original, I got notarized mine in the city office for free,
