The KBA number in Germany is a unique identification code assigned to each vehicle model by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), the Federal Motor Transport Authority. This number, also known as HSN/TSN (Herstellerschlüsselnummer / Typschlüsselnummer), consists of two parts:
- HSN (Herstellerschlüsselnummer): a 4-digit code that identifies the vehicle manufacturer.
- TSN (Typschlüsselnummer): a code that identifies the specific vehicle model, variants, and type.
These codes are essential for various bureaucratic processes, such as vehicle registration, insurance, and inspection procedures.
