By the supplied estimate, the German Embassy in Washington is the nearest supported centre for Modesto. It is at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007, and it is linked to the Germany route. The Embassy of Italy Visa Office follows at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008, for Italy. Appointments are required for the Italian office, and its supplied guidance says there is no on-site parking, so include that point in your planning from Modesto.
TLScontact Washington is at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036, and is linked to France. BLS Spain Washington is at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036, and is linked only to Spain. The BLS guidance calls for confirmation of consular jurisdiction before booking.

Every Modesto centre in this supplied set is in Washington DC, but the addresses are separate and the journey is unusually substantial. Centre-card distances and times are estimated driving figures calculated from the centre of Modesto using OpenStreetMap OSRM. Live traffic, road closures, and your actual starting point can change the result. Check the full street address and suite against the official page, especially when two listed locations share the same city or postcode before setting out.
The supported destinations are Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. Germany uses the embassy route, Italy the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, France TLScontact, and Spain BLS International. The official evidence points applicants to different instructions: Italy requires an appointment and has no on-site parking, TLScontact asks for confirmation and security checks, and Germany and Spain require route or jurisdiction confirmation. Keep the selected destination consistent throughout planning and document preparation for the appointment day, before travelling from Modesto to Washington DC.
Start with the destination, not just Washington DC. Germany is linked to the German Embassy, Italy to the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, France to TLScontact, and Spain to BLS International. Confirm the provider and jurisdiction on the official page before selecting an appointment.
Record the address and suite for the chosen Washington centre. The German Embassy, Italian Visa Office, TLScontact, and BLS Spain locations are separate. For Italy, remember that the supplied guidance says appointments are required and on-site parking is not provided.
Use the centre-card driving figure as an estimate from Modesto's centre. It does not account for your starting point, live traffic, or road closures. Allow practical flexibility for a journey to Washington DC, and keep the appointment confirmation accessible.
Read the destination-specific instructions before travelling. TLScontact asks applicants to check confirmation and security details, while BLS Spain asks for consular-jurisdiction confirmation and the German Embassy asks for residence and visa-category confirmation. Do not assume one provider's instructions apply to another.
