Palmdale applicants have four supported visa routes on this page, all using centres in Washington DC: Germany, France, Spain and Italy. The nearest listed option is the German Embassy, Washington, followed by TLScontact, BLS International and the Embassy of Italy. The supplied journey figures are estimates calculated from Palmdale's centre, not fixed travel commitments. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter them, so confirm the relevant mission or centre guidance, including any residence, visa-category or jurisdiction checks, before booking.
Germany is represented by German Embassy, Washington, at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007. The France route points to TLScontact Washington Visa Application Centre, 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036. Spain uses BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, Washington, at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036. Italy uses the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008. Match the booking link to the destination before travelling or choosing an appointment.
The supplied centre list is a focused set of supported options, not a claim that every provider centre is shown. Germany asks applicants to confirm that its mission covers their place of residence and visa category. Spain is linked only to the Spain route and requires a consular jurisdiction check. For France, read the appointment confirmation and current security instructions before travelling. Italy requires appointments and has no on-site parking, so include that point in your Washington DC planning.
Palmdale is served in the supplied data by Washington DC centres only, making appointment planning a major journey decision. The centre cards use driving estimates calculated from the centre of Palmdale; they do not predict the conditions on your travel date. Live traffic, road closures and a different starting point can change the figures. Compare the centre address in your confirmation with your itinerary, and leave sensible time for the journey rather than planning to a tight arrival.
Washington DC has two listed offices on L Street NW, but they serve different destinations: TLScontact is the France centre at Suite 500, while BLS Spain is at Second Floor, Suite 216. Germany is at Reservoir Road NW and Italy at Whitehaven Street NW. Use the exact provider name, street address and destination from your booking. This keeps the booking tied to the intended office when organising a long journey from Palmdale to the relevant Washington DC appointment area.
Germany applicants should confirm residence coverage and visa category with the mission before booking. Spain applicants should also verify consular jurisdiction. These checks are especially important when the appointment requires a long journey from Palmdale to a Washington DC centre.
Read the appointment confirmation and current security instructions before travelling to the TLScontact centre. The supplied guidance highlights those checks. Keep the confirmed destination and Washington DC address with your travel plans, so you do not end up at the wrong office.
Use the supplied journey figures as estimates only. They are calculated from Palmdale's centre and can change with traffic, road closures or your actual starting point. Leave flexibility in your itinerary instead of relying on a precise arrival time.
Check the route destination before following its official booking link. Germany, France, Spain and Italy each have a separate Washington DC listing, with TLScontact and BLS International serving different destinations. Compare the centre name in the confirmation with the location shown on the selected route.
