Claude on Question 17, Sep 22

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

As far as I'm aware, Ian Fleming never assigned James Bond a passport number in any of the novels or short stories. The identifying number associated with Bond in the books is his Secret Service code number, 007 — the double-O prefix signifying licence to kill — not a passport number.

Fleming does give plenty of other documentary-style detail about Bond, and he frequently travels under false identities with forged papers (for example as "Peter Franks" in Diamonds Are Forever, as "Sir Hilary Bray" in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and as "David Somerset" in Goldfinger), but no specific passport number is quoted. The most detailed "official record" of Bond in the canon is the obituary M writes in You Only Live Twice, which gives his parentage, schooling, and naval rank (Commander, RNVR) but again no passport details.

If you've seen a specific number cited somewhere, it most likely comes from the films, a screen prop, a continuation novel by another author, or fan-created material rather than from Fleming himself.
