Applicants in Sacramento who need a supported visa appointment route can use this guide to compare four Washington DC options: Germany, Italy, France and Spain. The listed centres are German Embassy, Washington; Embassy of Italy Visa Office, Washington; TLScontact Washington Visa Application Centre; and BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, Washington. Centre cards show the supplied driving distance and journey-time estimates separately. Because availability changes, check official guidance, confirm that the mission or centre covers your case, and plan carefully for the journey from Sacramento.
The supported route list for Sacramento points to Washington DC rather than a Sacramento application city. It includes Germany through the German Embassy, Italy through the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, France through TLScontact Washington, and Spain through BLS International. Each route has its own official booking page and centre instructions. Treat this as the supported list for these routes, not as a complete directory of every visa centre that may exist in the United States.
By the supplied estimate, the German Embassy, Washington is the nearest supported centre, with the Italian Embassy Visa Office at a very similar estimated driving distance. The German address is 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007, while the Italian office is at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008. Before selecting either route, read the current official guidance: Germany asks you to confirm coverage for your place of residence and visa category, while Italy requires an appointment.
The supplied journey figures are driving estimates calculated from the centre of Sacramento, so they are a planning reference rather than a promise of the conditions on the day. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change both the distance and the time. The centre cards keep those figures separate from the route details. Review the estimate for your chosen Washington DC centre, then build a realistic travel plan around the appointment time and the provider's current instructions.
Two supported entries share L Street NW addresses in Washington DC: TLScontact is at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036, and BLS Spain is at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036. Italy's office states that it has no on-site parking. For France, check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions. For Spain, confirm consular jurisdiction before booking. The German mission also asks applicants to confirm that it covers their place of residence and visa category.
Before choosing Germany or Spain, read current official guidance for your circumstances. Germany asks you to confirm that the mission covers your place of residence and visa category, while Spain is linked only to the Spain route and calls for a consular-jurisdiction check.
Save the selected centre name, full address and postcode with your appointment information. Washington entries have different addresses, including Reservoir Road NW, Whitehaven Street NW and two L Street NW suites, so check the exact details for the route you chose.
The journey figures are estimates from Sacramento's centre, and live traffic, road closures or your actual starting point may alter them. Build in sensible flexibility around the appointment time, and confirm the provider's latest instructions before setting out.
For Italy, remember the embassy guidance says there is no on-site parking. For France, review the appointment confirmation and current security instructions. Keep the relevant official page available so your arrival plan follows the centre's latest published requirements.
