Torrance applicants face a very long journey to the supported Washington DC listings, making early route checks and careful appointment planning worthwhile. The supplied options are Germany at the German Embassy, France at TLScontact, Spain at BLS International, and Italy at the Embassy of Italy Visa Office. This guide sets out the listed centre addresses, the estimated driving-time context, the checks attached to each destination, and how the Cancellation Finder can provide email and SMS notifications. Availability changes too, so confirm current provider instructions before travelling or booking.
For Torrance, the first supported centre listed is the German Embassy at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007, for Germany. The France route is listed at TLScontact, 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036. Spain is listed at the BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, while Italy is listed at the Embassy of Italy Visa Office, 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008. The centre cards show their estimates separately.
The supported destination pairing should be checked before any travel is arranged. Germany requires confirmation that the mission covers your place of residence and visa category. The Spain centre is linked only to Spain, with consular jurisdiction to confirm. The TLScontact guidance points applicants to their appointment confirmation and current security instructions, while the Italy guidance states that appointments are required and the embassy has no on-site parking. Check those points before travelling to Washington DC.
The supplied driving time estimate from the centre of Torrance to the nearest listed Washington DC centre is 2,836 minutes, around 47 hours 16 minutes. It is calculated for planning, not a fixed promise of travel time. The distance note warns that live traffic, road closures, and your actual starting point can change the result. Allow extra time for rest and other arrangements around the appointment rather than relying on a precise timetable for the whole journey.
Before departing Torrance, compare the address and destination in your appointment confirmation with the official provider page. For France, check the current TLScontact security instructions. Germany and Spain need their respective residence or jurisdiction checks, and Italy has the parking limitation noted above. Transport routes and opening times are not supplied in this guide, so confirm them directly with the relevant official source. Plan that check in advance. This matters when arranging a long journey to Washington DC from Torrance.
Match the country to the listed provider before you focus on the address. Germany uses the German Embassy, France uses TLScontact, Spain uses BLS International, and Italy uses the Embassy of Italy Visa Office. Keep the selected destination consistent throughout your booking.
Check Germany's residence and visa-category coverage, and confirm Spain's consular jurisdiction before booking. If using Italy, note both the required appointment and the lack of on-site embassy parking. These provider checks should happen before committing to a long journey from Torrance.
Review the appointment confirmation and current security instructions for TLScontact before travelling. Check every official address against the booking record, then keep the confirmation available. This is useful when several supported providers have Washington DC locations in the same broad area.
Treat the 2,836 minutes as an estimate from the centre of Torrance, not your personal itinerary. Allow for live traffic, road closures, your starting point, rest, and other travel arrangements. Planning a buffer is more realistic than assuming the displayed estimate will remain unchanged.
