Gemini on Question 17, Sep 14

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

Based on the original Ian Fleming novels, James Bond's passport number is never actually stated.

While Fleming was famous for his journalistic attention to detail regarding Bond's favorite brands, meals, and weapons, he never provided the specific serial number for Bond's passport in any of the 14 original books.

However, Fleming does give us plenty of details about Bond's passports throughout the series:

•Types of Passports: Bond holds two different passports. He has a standard British passport for normal cover routines and a special Diplomatic passport he uses when absolute official protection or expedited travel is necessary.
•Aliases: In the novels, Bond frequently travels under assumed names with forged passports provided by MI6. Some of his notable literary aliases include Peter Franks (Diamonds Are Forever), David Somerset (From Russia, with Love), Sir Hilary Bray (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), and Mark Hazard (The Man with the Golden Gun).

If you are thinking of a specific passport number, you might be recalling the films, which frequently show his passport on screen. For example, in the 2006 film Casino Royale, Daniel Craig's passport number is clearly shown as 00798369 Z, and in No Time to Die (2021), his passport number is seen as 084650536.
