Detect IN_PASSPORT

DESCRIPTION

An IN_PASSPORT (Indian Passport Number) is a unique number assigned by the Government of India to passport holders. It certifies the identity and citizenship of the passport holder for international travel. It is important to detect IN_PASSPORT to prevent potential identity theft and fraud, and to ensure the passport holder's sensitive information remains secure and protected.

DETECTION STEPS

An IN_PASSPORT consists of eight characters:

• The first character must be an uppercase letter (A-Z)
• The remaining seven characters are a combination of integers (0-9)

Example: E7654321

Hey @lailacodes, Question, should the detection process reject passport numbers that contain any alphanumeric character or lower case letter ?

[lailacodes]

@Dyamondgrate Lowercase letters are not used in the IN_PASSPORT, so it should reject them. The IN_PASSPORT number should also adhere to the format of the first character being an uppercase letter and the following characters being integers from 0-9. Also, I'm going to update the detection steps for more clarity because none of the characters should be symbols either.

Is there a specific regular expression we should use to detect the IN_PASSPORT format accurately?
