Gemini on Question 17, Sep 19

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 stated.

Throughout the 14 books written by Fleming, Bond’s specific passport serial number is a detail that the author never included.

Instead, Fleming focuses on the fact that Bond rarely travels under his real identity. MI6 (and its Q Branch equivalent) frequently issues him forged passports with various aliases tailored to his specific missions. Some of his notable passport covers in the books include:

•Peter Franks (Diamonds Are Forever)
•David Somerset (From Russia, with Love)
•Sir Hilary Bray (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service)
•Mark Robinson (You Only Live Twice)

Even when Bond does travel under his own name (sometimes holding a diplomatic passport, as referenced in From Russia, with Love), Fleming never provides the actual alphanumeric passport number in the text.

(Note: If you are thinking of a specific passport number, you are likely recalling a prop from the film franchise. For example, in the Daniel Craig films, Bond's passport numbers are shown on screen, but these are inventions of the movie production team, not Ian Fleming.)
