Gemini on Question 17, Oct 1

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

In the original Ian Fleming novels, James Bond’s passport number is never stated.

While Fleming was famously meticulous about detailing Bond's preferences—from the exact make of his Bentley and the specific caliber of his firearms to his custom-made Morland cigarettes—he never provided a specific alphanumeric passport number for the character.

Within the literary canon, Bond travels in a few different ways:

  • •Under his own name: When traveling as James Bond, his passport typically identifies his profession as a civil servant for the Ministry of Defence, or as an export merchant for his MI6 cover company, "Universal Export."
  • •Under aliases: The Secret Service frequently issues Bond forged passports with different identities depending on the mission. For example, he travels as "Mark Hazard" in Moonraker, "John Bryce" in Live and Let Die, and "David Somerset" in From Russia, with Love.

While modern movie props (such as those seen in the Daniel Craig films) have printed specific passport numbers on-screen for the sake of visual realism, the literary Bond created by Ian Fleming never had this specific piece of identification detailed in the text.
