The passport book number is located on the first page of the passport, which is called the bio page. The passport book number is located on the top right corner side to the word passport. 

This is an 8-character code starting with a letter and followed by the 7 digits, for example, M1234567. 

This number is crucial for your travel and is used for visa applications, flight bookings, and immigration checks.

    A passport book number is a number that is printed on some countries' passports. It is not the main passport number. This number is used to track the passport booklet. It is like a serial number that looks different from the main passport number.
