Tacoma applicants are shown four supported visa routes, all leading to centres in Washington DC: Germany, Italy, France and Spain. The nearest listed centre is German Embassy, Washington, with the Italian Visa Office, TLScontact and BLS International also included. The supplied journey figures are estimates from Tacoma's centre, and live traffic, road closures or your actual starting point can change them. Confirm the destination, mission coverage, consular jurisdiction and current provider instructions before booking a long-distance appointment.
For Tacoma, the Germany route is attached to German Embassy, Washington, 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007. Italy is handled at the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008. France is assigned to TLScontact Washington Visa Application Centre, 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036. Spain is assigned to BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, Washington, 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036. Use the matching official booking page.
These four entries are the supplied supported options for Tacoma, not an exhaustive statement about every provider location. The German guidance calls for a residence and visa-category check. Spain is linked only to the Spain route and requires a consular jurisdiction check. For France, check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions before travelling. Italy requires appointments and offers no on-site parking at the embassy, which matters when planning the visit from Tacoma to Washington DC.
All supported Tacoma centres are in Washington DC, so the appointment involves a substantial journey from the named location. The displayed driving estimates are calculated from Tacoma's centre and are affected by live traffic, road closures and the applicant's actual starting point. They are useful for broad planning, not a fixed promise. Check the latest confirmation, then allow practical time for the journey and for finding the correct listed address at the Washington DC appointment destination.
The Washington DC addresses are spread across Reservoir Road NW, Whitehaven Street NW and L Street NW. On L Street, TLScontact's France centre is in Suite 500, while BLS Spain's centre is on the Second Floor, Suite 216. Read the full provider name and destination in your confirmation, because selecting France or Spain does not mean using the same office. Keep the Tacoma-to-Washington DC journey organised around that exact location before setting out for the appointment.
Before booking Germany, confirm that the mission covers your place of residence and visa category. Before booking Spain, confirm your consular jurisdiction. These checks should be settled before arranging travel from Tacoma to Washington DC, where the supported centres listed here are located.
Keep the booking confirmation available and review the current security instructions before travelling to TLScontact. The supplied France guidance highlights both points. Match the destination and address with your plans for the selected Washington DC office.
The Tacoma journey figures are estimates from the location centre, not a fixed travel schedule. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change them. Leave flexibility around the appointment and avoid tightly timed onward plans.
Use the official link for the selected destination and check the confirmed centre name. France and Spain have separate Washington DC offices even though both are on L Street NW. Keep the Tacoma travel plan tied to the correct provider and application address.
