Your wife needs 3 years residency and meet all the standard requirements as well as have ILR to Naturalise as a British Citizen and once approved and she has attended the ceremony, she can then apply for a passport.

After Ilr she can apply for travel document is she doesn't have her country passport.
she has to apply for naturalisation, then for british passport.
