Does anyone know...

If you are +50 years old, and qualify to take the test in language of choice, do you need to submit anything to request to take it in spanish?

Thanks,

I quickly read through all of this and I cannot find anything that says you have to do anything special to do this. I am guessing that they can tell if you qualify by all of the filings that you have to do associated with this.
