isPassport - Azerbaijan validation fails
Describe the bug The validation for an Azerbaijan passport number, fails. After a little research, I found out this:
"Each passport, no matter which category it belongs to, comes with a unique number. It starts with a letter followed by 8 digits,..."
The validation now, in Regex is : [A-Z]{2,3}\d{7,8}$, and i think it should be [A-Z]{1}\d{8}$. Correct me if i'm wrong?
The PR that added the regex (https://github.com/validatorjs/validator.js/pull/2061) did not have any source. The page where you got that quote from is likely https://www.byevisa.com/azerbaijan-passport/ but that also does not have a source. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada does have a link to Keesing Reference System (not freely accessible) which mentions that you are correct. See https://irb.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?doc=455354&pls=1 and https://www.refworld.org/docid/53b14c614.html
Feel free to open a PR that fixes this.
