^DO\d{2}[A-Z]{4}\d{20}$

Pattern validates length, country code, check digit positions, and field character types. Does not verify the MOD-97 checksum (use the validator above for full validation).

PHP

$iban = strtoupper(str_replace(' ', '', $input));
if (!preg_match('/^DO\\d{2}[A-Z]{4}\\d{20}$/', $iban)) {
    // Invalid Dominican Republic IBAN format
}

JavaScript

const iban = input.replace(/\s+/g, '').toUpperCase();
const pattern = /^DO\d{2}[A-Z]{4}\d{20}$/;
if (!pattern.test(iban)) {
  // Invalid Dominican Republic IBAN format
}

Python

import re
iban = input_str.replace(' ', '').upper()
pattern = r'^DO\d{2}[A-Z]{4}\d{20}$'
if not re.fullmatch(pattern, iban):
    # Invalid Dominican Republic IBAN format
