Claude on Question 17, Sep 16

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

I'm not aware of any passport number being given for Bond in Ian Fleming's novels. Fleming supplies a lot of bureaucratic-sounding detail about Bond — his double-O number (007), his Chelsea flat off the King's Road, his Bentley, his salary of £1,500 a year plus allowances, and in On Her Majesty's Secret Service his family background (father Andrew Bond of Glencoe, mother Monique Delacroix) and the Bond family motto "The World Is Not Enough" — but a passport number isn't among those details as far as I know.

What the books do mention are the various cover identities and their documents: "David Somerset" of the Ministry of Defence in From Russia, with Love, "Peter Franks" in Diamonds Are Forever, "Sir Hilary Bray" in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and so on. Numbers occasionally cited online for Bond's passport tend to come from the films or from fan-created material rather than Fleming's text.

If you've seen a specific number quoted somewhere, I'd be happy to help think about which novel or film it might actually trace back to — but I don't want to invent one.
