Applicants in Baltimore can use the supplied Washington DC listings for Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, France and Spain. The closest listed distance is 38.6 miles: VFS Global Washington is estimated at 61 minutes from Baltimore's centre, while the Italian Embassy office has the same distance estimate. Other listed options include TLScontact and BLS International. Availability changes, so check the relevant provider or embassy instructions before booking and use the Cancellation Finder for email and SMS notifications on selected routes.
The supplied centre list places four relevant options in Washington DC. VFS Global is at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, and covers the Netherlands and Portugal routes. The Embassy of Italy Visa Office is at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW. TLScontact is at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, for France, while BLS International is at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, for Spain. These are listed nearby options, not a complete provider-centre list.
Route choices should follow the destination and the official booking page attached to it: Italy uses the Embassy or Consulate route, Netherlands and Portugal use VFS Global, France uses TLScontact, and Spain uses BLS International. The Spain centre is linked only to the Spain route, and its guidance asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction. For VFS submissions, the supplied guidance says arrangements can vary by destination, so review the destination-specific page.
The listed journey figures are estimated driving distances and times calculated from the centre of Baltimore using the supplied OpenStreetMap OSRM source. VFS Global Washington is one of the closest listed centres, with an estimate of 38.6 miles and 61 minutes; the Italian office has the same supplied distance estimate. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey. Check the Washington DC address on the current centre or appointment page, particularly because the four listed locations use different addresses.
Plan around the instructions attached to the chosen route rather than treating all Washington offices as interchangeable. Italy's guidance says appointments are required and that the embassy has no on-site parking. TLScontact asks applicants to check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions before travelling. If Spain is selected, confirm jurisdiction first. Keep the provider or embassy page open as the final reference because availability and instructions can change.
Before selecting a cancellation, match the destination with the listed Washington DC route: Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, France or Spain. The centre and provider differ by route, so use the corresponding official booking page and confirm its current instructions.
Use the address shown in your confirmation, not a generic Washington DC search result. The listed centres are on Vermont Avenue, Whitehaven Street and L Street, and the Italian Embassy guidance notes there is no on-site parking. Build the journey around the correct building.
The supplied time is an estimate from Baltimore's centre, not a promise for your own start point. Check traffic and road conditions before leaving, since live traffic, road closures and the starting point can alter the journey to Washington DC.
Take the current provider or embassy instructions with you in your planning notes. VFS arrangements can vary by destination, TLScontact lists security instructions to check, and Spain applicants should confirm consular jurisdiction before relying on a selected appointment.
