Invalid Russian passport number regex

[Chormon]

International Russian passport contains 9 digits, not 10:

validator.js/src/lib/isPassportNumber.js

Line 53 in 13651ea

RU: /^\d{2}\d{2}\d{6}$/, // RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Thank you for reporting this issue @Chormon. Looks like the person that added the validation mixed between internal and international passport number.

An international passport number has nine digits, one digit fewer than the internal passport number. The first two digits can indicate that the passport holder (or a family member) is a government official (10) or a diplomat (20). However, international passport numbers do not offer as much insight as internal passport numbers. Region and year of issue do not form part of the number as they do in internal passport numbers.

So should it accept both or only international passport numbers?
I can fix this after clarification.

As far as I understand, domestic passport is more like ID card.

Looks like only 9 digit passport numbers are valid. The 10 digit version is as Chromon said used like an ID Card.

@Tharunkumar001 sorry but @Theta-Dev asked first 😅 Feel free to pick another issue or check #1761 if you want to contribute as part of hacktoberfest

Why is the regex actually seperated into 3 groups instead of simply ^\d{10}$?

No idea, you will probably want to change that too 😅
