Claude on Question 17, Sep 28
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. Fleming was quite detailed about many aspects of Bond's paperwork and cover identities, but a specific passport number doesn't appear to be among them — so the premise of the question may be mistaken (or it may come from a non-Fleming source, such as a film prop, continuation novel, or fan reference work).
What Fleming does give us along these lines:
- •007 — his Double-O licence-to-kill number within the Secret Service.
- •Various cover identities and passports, e.g. "David Somerset" (From Russia, with Love), "Peter Franks" (Diamonds Are Forever), and Sir Hilary Bray of the College of Arms (On Her Majesty's Secret Service).
- •His cover employer, Universal Export, and details like his salary of £1,500 a year (Moonraker).
If you saw a particular number cited somewhere, I'd be happy to help figure out where it actually came from — but I wouldn't want to invent one.
