I need to check by Regex expression if 9 or 14 digits are typed.
The expression \d{9}|\d{14} seems to be not working properly, what’s wrong ?

This regex should work.
Could you post the piece of code you’re using and tell us what language are you using?
If you’re using regex chances are that you have a string, and I’m sure your language has something to count string length.
EDIT:
as Rubens Farias pointed out in comments maybe ^…$ is needed because your regex would match any number with more than 9 digit as that number has a substring with a 9 digit long number.
Anyway check if you can do it with your language’s string’s methods/functions
