Gemini on Question 17, Sep 26

Based on the original Ian Fleming novels, James Bond's specific passport number is never stated.

While Fleming was famous for the "Fleming Effect"—layering his novels with obsessive, realistic details about Bond's life, including his preferred Morland cigarettes, the make of his Bentley, his Walther PPK, and exactly how he liked his eggs cooked—he never provided the actual alphanumeric digits of Bond's passport.

Here is what Fleming does tell us about Bond's passports in the books:

• •His Cover: When traveling under his own name, Bond usually carries a British passport identifying him as a "Civil Servant" or an employee of Universal Export, which is the primary front company for the British Secret Service.
• •Diplomatic vs. Regular: Depending on the mission, he is sometimes issued a diplomatic passport to ensure he can cross borders with less friction or avoid having his luggage searched (which usually contains his weapon).
• •Aliases: Bond frequently uses forged passports provided by Q-Branch for specific aliases. For example, he travels on a passport belonging to the smuggler Peter Franks in Diamonds Are Forever, and uses a passport under the name Sir Hilary Bray in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

(Note: If you are thinking of a specific passport number, it likely comes from the film franchise. For example, in the 2006 movie Casino Royale, the prop passport created for Daniel Craig's Bond is briefly visible and bears the passport number 0711413, but this was an invention of the film's prop department, not Ian Fleming.)
