Question

anyone knows any function or regular expression to validate the id number of id card from all countries?

I found this regular expression, who validates id number from Spain but i need validate all id number from all countries.

^((([A-Z]|[a-z])\d{8})|(\d{8}([A-Z]|[a-z])))$

Thanks.

You cannot validate id numbers from all countries by one regular expressions becouse each country has a different policy for example in my country it is validated by ^\\d{14}$ a.e., 14 numbers.

What you can do is associate each country with a regex pattern and validate the id depending on its country.
