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.
