Claude on Question 17, Sep 25

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 a fair amount of bureaucratic detail about Bond — his rank of Commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, his CMG, his flat off the King's Road in Chelsea, his cover employment with Universal Export, and the various false identities and passports he travels on (such as "Mr. Somerset" or the Sable Basilisk/Sir Hilary Bray impersonation in On Her Majesty's Secret Service) — but I can't recall a passport number ever being quoted.

If you've seen a specific number cited, it most likely comes from one of the films (where props sometimes show documents briefly), from a continuation novel by another author, or from a fan compilation rather than from Fleming himself. If you can tell me where you encountered it, I can try to help place it — but I'd rather flag my uncertainty than invent a number.
