Claude on Question 17, Oct 3

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. If you've seen a specific number quoted, it most likely comes from a film prop, a tie‑in publication, or a fan reference work rather than Fleming's text.

What Fleming does give us:

  • •**His service number, 00

7**, within the Secret Service — the famous designation indicating a licence to kill.

  • •Cover identities used on travel documents, e.g. "David Somerset" in From Russia, with Love, "Peter Franks" in Diamonds Are Forever, "Sir Hilary Bray" in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and "Mark Hazard" of the Transworld Consortium in The Man with the Golden Gun.
  • •Biographical details such as his birth to Andrew Bond of Glencoe and Monique Delacroix of the Canton de Vaud, set out in M's obituary of Bond in You Only Live Twice.

If you can tell me where you encountered the passport number, I might be able to help identify the source.
