Fahrerlaubnis: Schlüsselzahl 96 oder Schlüsselzahl 196 für die Klasse B beantragen

If you want to drive your vehicle with a trailer weighing more than 750 kilograms, you need an extension to category B with the key number 96. If you want to drive light motorcycles up to 125 cm³ without a motorcycle license, you need an extension with the key number 196.

You can extend your category B driving license under certain conditions.

With the key number B96, you may drive category B motor vehicles with a trailer with a maximum permissible mass of more than 750 kilograms. The maximum permissible mass may exceed 3,500 kilograms, but may not exceed 4,250 kilograms.

The key number B196 allows you to drive motorcycles (also with sidecar) with a maximum engine capacity of 125 cm³. The engine power must not exceed 11 kW. The ratio of power to weight must not exceed 0.1 kW/kg.

To drive the key numbers, you must complete the driver training course specified in the Driving License Ordinance (FeV).

The key number B96 represents an allocation that is valid throughout the European Union (EU).

The key number 196 is a national key number. The resulting authorization is therefore only valid in Germany.

The registration of the key number B196 does not entitle the holder to a category A1 driving license. It is therefore also not possible to use it to upgrade to category A2, for example.
