Its address is 128 East 32nd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016. The centre is linked to the Netherlands and Portugal routes. The VFS centre record points applicants to the official destination page and its guidance says submission arrangements can vary.

The Germany centre is on the 18th Floor and is 13.4 miles away, with a 27-minute estimate; it is linked only to the Germany route.

The supplied driving estimates put the BLS Germany and Spain centres at 13.4 miles and 27 minutes, the TLScontact centre at 14.1 miles and 29 minutes, and the VFS centre at 12.7 miles and 30 minutes from Newark's named location. These are route estimates calculated from the centre of Newark, not a guaranteed departure-to-door journey. Live traffic, road closures and the point where you start can alter the result, so check directions close to the appointment and build in sensible contingency time.
Choose the route before choosing the building. Netherlands and Portugal bookings are represented by VFS Global at East 32nd Street, Germany and Spain by the separate BLS suites on West 39th Street, and France by TLScontact at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705, New York, NY 10019. The France centre's supplied guidance says documents are currently returned by courier from that centre. Review the relevant official booking page, including any latest courier instructions, before setting out for the appointment day.
Before paying or travelling, match the destination with the correct provider. VFS covers the Netherlands and Portugal entries, BLS Germany is for Germany, BLS Spain is for Spain, and TLScontact is linked to France. Keep the relevant official booking page open so you can check any destination-specific submission change.
The Germany and Spain centre records are route-specific and each says to confirm your consular jurisdiction before booking. Treat that check as part of your preparation rather than assuming the nearest New York address is suitable. If your application is for another destination, use the matching route and provider page instead of relying on the building's location alone.
Save the centre name, floor or suite, postcode and relevant official URL with your booking details. For this area, the BLS Germany and Spain centres share 55 West 39th Street but use different floors or suites, while VFS is on East 32nd Street and TLScontact is on West 57th Street. Recheck those details before leaving Newark.
The road figures are estimates, not promises of a particular arrival time. Check live directions on the day and leave room for traffic or road closures. Also allow time to find the entrance and reach the stated floor or suite, without assuming that a short quoted drive means the appointment-day journey will be short.
