dob should be written as 'd.o.b.' In the English language ny shortened words is followed by a full stop / period.

'd.o.b' is short for 'date of birth'.

Correspondingly, d.o.d is 'date of death'.

In English Grammar any shortened word should be followed by a full stop, ton indicate that it is a shortneded term.

e.g. (exempli gratia)

Mr. Mister

Mrs. Missis

Messrs. Messeurs, plural of 'Mr'.

Dr. Doctor

St. Street or Saint.

Rd. Road

etc., Etcetera.

When used at the end of a sentence the full stop is then followed by a comma. Notice 'etc.,' above.

e.g.

The colours of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, etc.,
