Docs for naturalisation as married to BC

I m applying for naturalisation soon but have a question about the docs to supply on the basis of marriage to a BC.

My wife has just attended the citizenship ceremony but not applied passport. Will I need to supply her current foreign passport with her naturalisation certificate as proof?

The AN notes says passport or birth certificate or naturalisation certificate, but the last page of application form says passport or birth certification and no mentioning of naturalisation certificat.

I m going to use NCS but on the phone they also mentioned I need to bring my wife's passport but I forgot to ask the, what if my wife doesn't have a UK passport but only the naturalisation certificate.

A bit confused.

A naturalisation certificate is proof of British citizenship. A (foreign) passport is proof of identity. Together should be acceptable.

She doesn't need to be there. Only the documents are required.
