Claude on Question 17, Sep 10

What is James Bond's passport number as stated in the Fleming novels?

I'm not aware of any passport number for Bond being given in Ian Fleming's novels or short stories. Fleming supplies plenty of other bureaucratic detail about his hero — the 00 number itself, his rank of Commander RNVR, his Civil Service salary of £1,500 a year plus allowances (mentioned in Moonraker), his Chelsea flat, his club — but I can't recall a passport number appearing in the canon.

What Fleming does give is a series of cover identities Bond travels under: "David Somerset" in From Russia, with Love, "Peter Franks" in Diamonds Are Forever, "Mark Hazard" of Universal Export in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and so on. Occasionally a passport is described physically or by nationality, but not, as far as I know, by number.

It's possible you're thinking of a figure from the films, a continuation novel by a later author, or a piece of licensed reference material or fan compilation. If you can tell me where you came across it, I can try to help pin down the source — but I'd rather say I don't know than invent a number for you.
