As far as I'm aware, Ian Fleming never gave James Bond a passport number in any of the novels or short stories. It's a detail that simply doesn't appear in the books, so any number circulating as "Bond's passport number" is likely either invented by fans or drawn from a film prop rather than Fleming's text.

What Fleming does give us is:

• •His service number, 007 — the "00" prefix denoting licence to kill, which is the identifier people most often conflate with other kinds of documentation.
• •Cover identities and passports rather than numbers. In From Russia, with Love Bond travels as "David Somerset," ostensibly a Ministry of Defence employee, accompanying "Caroline Somerset" (Tatiana Romanova). Elsewhere he uses the cover of a businessman with Universal Export, the Secret Service's front company.
• •Occasional descriptive references to his passport being stamped or scrutinised, but without numerals.

If you've seen a specific number quoted somewhere, it may come from a screen prop (film productions do mock up documents with numbers) or from one of the continuation novels by later authors such as Kingsley Amis, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, or Anthony Horowitz. If you can tell me where you encountered it, I can help you work out the source.
