My kids

Hello everyone,
I just returned to the UK a few days ago and i am looking into the idea of getting my children British passports, both my boys were born in Germany but have Japanese passports, I have not registered thier births localy yet but my question is are they entitled to British citizenship?

PS I am a British citizen and wife is Japanese

Were you either born in the UK, or naturalised British?

Then it sounds like your children are British by descent.
