Cary applicants using the supported routes listed here are directed to centres in Washington DC. The nearest listed option is the VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005, for Netherlands and Portugal. Spain, France and Germany use separate Washington locations, with the German Embassy at Reservoir Road. This guide summarises the listed routes, addresses, estimated driving times and preparation checks. Availability changes, so confirm jurisdiction and current official instructions before travelling.
The supported Washington DC options in the supplied list are tied to destinations and providers. VFS Global at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW serves the Netherlands and Portugal. BLS International at 1660 L Street NW is linked only to Spain, TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW is listed for France, and the German Embassy is at 4645 Reservoir Road NW. Check the destination page and centre instructions rather than treating the addresses as interchangeable for an appointment.
The route list includes Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, Spain through BLS International, France through TLScontact and Germany through the German Embassy. The Spain centre guidance says to confirm consular jurisdiction, while the German guidance asks applicants to confirm the mission covers their place of residence and visa category. These checks matter before booking. Use the official route page for the destination you need and follow its current instructions before arranging travel from Cary.
The supplied figures are estimated driving times from the centre of Cary to the listed Washington DC locations. VFS Global and BLS Spain Washington are each shown at 316 minutes, TLScontact at 318, and the German Embassy at 321. These figures support planning but are not fixed journey times. Live traffic, road closures and your starting point can alter the trip, so review the official centre information before your planned departure from Cary for the appointment.
Washington DC has several supported destinations, but each application follows its own centre instructions. Netherlands and Portugal share the VFS Global address on Vermont Avenue. Spain uses BLS International on L Street, France uses TLScontact on the same street at a different suite, and Germany uses the Reservoir Road embassy. Confirm the provider, address, jurisdiction guidance where stated, and appointment details before making the journey from Cary to Washington DC for the appointment as planned.
Begin with the destination. Netherlands and Portugal use VFS Global, Spain uses BLS International, France uses TLScontact, and Germany uses the embassy. Match the provider and address in your confirmation to the official page before leaving Cary.
Check the Spain and Germany conditions before booking. The Spain centre is linked only to Spain and asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction. The German Embassy asks applicants to confirm place of residence and visa category. Keep these checks with your confirmation.
Use the listed driving estimates as a baseline: 316 minutes to VFS Global or BLS Spain Washington, 318 to TLScontact and 321 to the German Embassy. Add time for traffic, road closures and your own starting point. The figures are estimates, not fixed arrival promises.
If the Cancellation Finder sends an email and SMS notification, open the official route page and verify the details there. Recheck availability, jurisdiction requirements where stated, the address and appointment information. The email signals something to verify; the provider confirmation remains your travel reference.
