Claude on Question 17, Sep 14

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

I'm not aware of any point in Ian Fleming's original novels and short stories where Bond's passport number is given. Fleming is quite specific about many details of Bond's paperwork and cover identities — he travels under aliases such as "Peter Franks" (Diamonds Are Forever), "David Somerset" (From Russia, with Love), and "Sir Hilary Bray" (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) — but a passport number as such doesn't appear in the texts as far as I know.

The number most associated with Bond, 007, is his Secret Service double-O code number, not a passport or identity-document number. He's also described as a Commander in the R.N.V.R. and, late in the series, a C.M.G.

If you've seen a specific passport number quoted somewhere, it most likely comes from a film prop, a continuation novel, or a piece of licensed merchandise/tie-in material rather than from Fleming himself. If you can tell me where you came across it, I can try to help pin down the source.
