Gemini on Question 17, Sep 17

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

Based on the original James Bond novels and short stories written by Ian Fleming, James Bond's actual passport number is never stated.

While Fleming goes into great, meticulous detail about many of Bond's possessions—such as his gun (the Walther PPK), his car (the Bentley), his cigarettes (Morland Specials with three gold bands), and his double-0 number (007)—he never provides a specific numeric passport number for Bond.

Fleming does, however, frequently mention Bond's passports throughout the books. We learn that Bond holds both a standard British passport and a Diplomatic passport for his travels under his own name. Furthermore, he is issued several forged passports by MI6's Q-Branch for his various undercover aliases, such as:

•Peter Franks (Diamonds Are Forever)
•Sir Hilary Bray (On Her Majesty's Secret Service)
•Mark Somerset (You Only Live Twice)
•Mark Hazard (The Man with the Golden Gun)

If you are thinking of a specific passport number, it likely comes from the film franchise, where the props department had to create visually accurate passports for close-up shots (such as Daniel Craig's passport in the 2006 film Casino Royale), rather than the original literary canon.
