I'm currently creating a custom regex for kenyan ID numbers, usually the ID number consists of eight digits, the first two digits is constant, but changes with time. Example of an ID number: 34640970. So the mentioned ID is within 34 series.

Other series is: 20 series 20456880, 20337228, 20656902 32 series 32879776, 32877009, 32344112 34 series 34640970, 34434229, 34223007
