Claude on Question 17, Sep 17

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 or short stories. Fleming supplies plenty of other personal details — Bond's Royal Naval Reserve rank of Commander, his CMG, his Universal Exports cover, his flat off the King's Road, and of course his 00 section number 007 — but I can't recall a passport number appearing in the text, and I don't want to invent one.

Fleming does mention passports in passing in the sense of cover identities — Bond travels under aliases such as "David Somerset" in From Russia, with Love and as Sir Hilary Bray in On Her Majesty's Secret Service — but without numbers attached, as far as I know.

If you've seen a specific number cited somewhere, it may come from a film prop, a continuation novel, or a fan reference work rather than Fleming himself. If you can tell me where you encountered it, I can help you work out the likely source.
