I get the overwhelming feeling that this problem is going to take 3 steps.

Step 1.  Check for length.
Step 2.  Check for 2 digits
Step 3.  Check for 2 alphas

Step 1: can be accomplished using a simple string.length.
Step 2: ([0-9a-z]*[0-9]){2}[0-9a-z]*
Step 3: ([0-9a-z]*[a-z]){2}[0-9a-z]*

If characters other than alphas and digits are allowed, replace instances of
[0-9a-z] with the appropriate set of characters.
