For applicants in Charlotte, the supplied appointment options are all in Washington DC. The nearest listed centre is BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, Washington, at 1660 L Street NW, with an estimated 396.8 driving miles and 456 minutes from Charlotte's centre. The listed destination routes are Spain, France, Italy and Germany.

By the supplied driving estimate, BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, Washington, is nearest to Charlotte: 396.8 miles and 456 minutes from the named location's centre. Its address is 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036. The other listed centres are TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, the Italian visa office at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW and the German Embassy at 4645 Reservoir Road NW.
Charlotte's four supplied routes use the same Washington DC application city but different providers. Spain is linked to BLS International, France to TLScontact, Italy to the Embassy or Consulate and Germany to the Embassy or Consulate. The Spain centre guidance says this location is linked only to Spain and asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction before booking. Check the relevant official route page for current instructions.
The listed driving figures are comparatively close, but they are still estimates: the four centres range from 396.8 to 397.5 miles and from 456 to 461 minutes from Charlotte's centre. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey. Use the figures to frame your planning, not as a fixed timetable, and confirm the appointment details before travelling to Washington DC.
Addresses should be checked against the route you choose: BLS Spain is at 1660 L Street NW, TLScontact is at 1899 L Street NW, Italy is at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW and Germany is at 4645 Reservoir Road NW. For Italy, the supplied guidance says appointments are required and the embassy has no on-site parking. Do not assume that detail applies elsewhere or to other centres.
If Spain is your chosen destination, treat the Washington centre's jurisdiction check as an early task. The supplied guidance links that location only to Spain, so confirm your consular jurisdiction before booking and before arranging the Charlotte to Washington journey.
Keep the selected provider and full centre address with your appointment information. The BLS Spain and TLScontact locations are both on L Street NW, but they have different street numbers and suites, so check the address carefully before travelling.
An Italy appointment needs extra parking planning: the embassy guidance says appointments are required and that there is no on-site parking. Confirm the current instructions on the official embassy page, then allow your wider journey plan to reflect the stated Washington DC address.
Before travelling, keep the destination, provider and Washington address together with your appointment information. Spain, France, Italy and Germany use different listed locations or missions, so check the selected route against the official page.
