  //Format: 00-00000X00
  const re = /^\d{2}\-\d{6,8}[A-Z]{1}\d{2}$/;
  if (!re.test(ID)) throw "Invalid Format";

if you are doing it in Java then

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\d{7,9}[A-Z]{1}\d{2}$");
@OverRide
public void validate(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, Object o) throws ValidatorException {
log.info("posted id number {}", o.toString());
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(o.toString());

    if (!matcher.matches()){
        FacesMessage msg =
                new FacesMessage("Invalid Id Number","Check the id number that you input");
        msg.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
        throw new ValidatorException(msg);
    }
}
