San Francisco applicants will find the supplied Germany, Italy, France and Spain route entries in Washington DC. German Embassy, Washington is the closest listed centre by estimated driving distance, at 2,813.5 miles from the centre of San Francisco and 2,970 minutes. The distance is substantial, so confirm the correct jurisdiction and provider instructions, and treat changing availability as part of your planning.
For San Francisco, the listed Washington DC addresses are 4645 Reservoir Road NW for Germany, 3000 Whitehaven Street NW for Italy, 1899 L Street NW for France and 1660 L Street NW for Spain. The corresponding organisations are the German Embassy, Italian Visa Office, TLScontact and BLS International. These are the supplied entries for this guide, not a claim that every provider centre is listed.
Route eligibility still needs its own check. German guidance refers to place of residence and visa category, while BLS links its Washington location only to Spain and asks for consular-jurisdiction confirmation. TLScontact highlights the appointment confirmation and security instructions. The Italian guidance requires appointments and says there is no on-site parking, so review the applicable details before arranging travel from San Francisco for your appointment.
The German Embassy estimate from central San Francisco is 2,813.5 miles and 2,970 minutes. The Italian Visa Office is listed at 2,813.6 miles and 2,976 minutes, while TLScontact and BLS are each 2,816.7 miles and 2,976 minutes. These figures are estimated driving distances and times calculated from the location centre, not live conditions on the day. Live traffic, road closures and your starting point can change them.
Make the appointment details the anchor for the journey: confirm the route, date and address before arranging the trip. The supplied caveat allows for live traffic, road closures and different starting points, all of which can alter the estimate. Availability changes too, so check the official provider instructions again before departure and keep plans flexible for the long journey from San Francisco and back again.
Washington DC has four separately listed addresses in this data. Before travelling from San Francisco, match the destination country and provider on your confirmation to the correct address; Germany, Italy, France and Spain are not interchangeable simply because they share an application city.
Use the German residence and visa-category check or the Spanish consular-jurisdiction check where relevant. Complete the applicable check before organising the journey, and use the route-specific official guidance rather than assuming that every Washington DC office accepts every applicant.
The supplied driving figures span 2,813.5 to 2,816.7 miles and 2,970 to 2,976 minutes from central San Francisco. Treat them as estimates, then allow for live traffic, road closures and the point where you will actually start.
TLScontact asks applicants to check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions before travelling. Apply the same careful review to your selected route, including the exact address. For Italy, note the supplied guidance that the embassy has no on-site parking.
