Based on the original James Bond novels written by Ian Fleming, James Bond's specific passport number is **never stated**.
While Fleming was famous for giving readers highly specific, brand-name details about Bond's life—such as the exact make of his car, his customized cigarettes, his favored firearms, and his precise daily routines—he never actually provided an alphanumeric number for Bond's passport in any of the 14 original books.
However, Fleming did provide several other interesting details regarding Bond's passport and travel habits throughout the novels:
* **Type of Passport:** Bond traveled on a standard blue British passport. The Secret Service specifically forbade him from carrying a diplomatic passport, as it would draw unwanted attention to his movements.
* **Listed Profession:** When traveling under his own name, Bond's passport typically listed his profession as "Company Director" or "Import-Export Merchant" to align with his cover as an employee of Universal Export (the front company for the Secret Service).
* **Aliases:** In several novels, Bond doesn't even use his own passport. He travels under aliases provided by MI6's Q-Branch, complete with forged passports. For example, he travels as "Peter Franks" in *Diamonds Are Forever*, "David Somerset" in *From Russia, with Love*, and "Sir Hilary Bray" in *On Her Majesty's Secret Service*.
*(Note: If you are thinking of a specific passport number, you may be thinking of the film franchise. For instance, as an on-screen prop in the 2006 film Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s Bond is issued a passport with the number visibly printed on it, but this is a creation of the movie's prop department, not Ian Fleming.)*
