For Lowell, Massachusetts applicants, the supplied nearest-centre catalogue points to New York rather than Washington DC. The listed routes cover Italy, France, Germany and Spain, with an embassy or application centre assigned to each destination. This page brings together the New York addresses, route-specific instructions and estimated journey caveats from Lowell. It also explains how the Cancellation Finder sends email and SMS notifications when appointment availability changes. Check the relevant official source before booking, especially where jurisdiction or centre instructions apply.
The nearest supported centres listed for Lowell are in New York. Italy is handled by the Consulate General of Italy at 690 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065. France uses TLScontact at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705, while Germany and Spain use BLS International at 55 West 39th Street, on the 18th Floor and in Suite 800 respectively. The centre cards display the supplied journey estimates separately from these addresses for planning reference.
The four route connections are Italy route 17, France route 7, Germany route 57 and Spain route 27. The Germany and Spain centre notes say those locations are linked only to their named routes and ask applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction. Italy's guidance says applicants use the East 69th Street entrance and attend by appointment. France's centre note says documents are currently returned by courier, subject to checking the latest instructions before relying on it.
The Lowell journey figures are driving estimates from the centre of the named location, not a guarantee of the time from your own starting point. Live traffic, road closures and the actual origin can change the result. Before travelling, confirm the date, address and provider instructions for the route you selected. The estimate is useful for deciding when to set out, but leave a buffer for the appointment-day process and any provider instructions there too.
Two New York options are on West 39th Street, but the BLS Germany and Spain locations have different floors or suites. TLScontact is at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705, and the Italian Consulate is at 690 Park Avenue. Italy's guidance directs applicants to the East 69th Street entrance, while France's centre note refers to courier document return. Check the exact route details before departure and confirm the latest provider instructions for the day ahead.
Identify the destination before the New York address. Italy uses the Italian Consulate, France uses TLScontact, and Germany and Spain use separate BLS suites. Confirm the route title and official booking page so the centre details match your application.
Germany and Spain are route-only centres in the supplied notes. Confirm your consular jurisdiction before booking either option. If choosing Italy, note the East 69th Street entrance and the requirement to attend by appointment at that centre.
Use Lowell's centre-card journey figure as an estimate, not a fixed arrival time. Recheck your starting point, traffic and road conditions before setting out. Keep the confirmed appointment details accessible while travelling to the exact New York address.
Read the current instructions for document return as well as attendance. TLScontact's supplied note refers to courier return, while Italy's note specifies the entrance and appointment requirement. Germany and Spain still require their own route and jurisdiction checks.
