Confirm that the mission covers your residence and visa category before booking.

For Germany, confirm that the Washington mission covers your place of residence and visa category. For Spain, confirm your consular jurisdiction before booking. These checks belong with the relevant official mission or provider, so do them before arranging a long journey.
Keep the appointment confirmation available and compare its instructions with the official page before travelling. TLScontact specifically advises checking the confirmation and current security instructions. Recheck the address, destination and any required information rather than relying on an older booking message.
Note that the Italian Embassy Visa Office guidance says appointments are required and there is no on-site parking. For every destination, use the exact centre named in your confirmation, including the suite or floor shown in the supplied address.
The supplied journey figures are estimates, not fixed arrival times. Build flexibility around traffic, road closures and the point where you start. If the appointment is important, review the journey again close to departure and keep the official appointment details accessible.
