What is an invoice number?
Every time a teacher places an order on Lingco Language Labs, a PDF invoice is automatically generated and sent to you via email, to the email address that you used when you registered for an exam. You can find the Invoice/Order number displayed on that PDF document.
I can’t find my invoice.
Invoices are emailed automatically
Check your inbox and/or your spam folder. Once you have completed a registration on Lingco Language Labs, you will receive an email confirmation from [email protected] with an attached invoice.

Did you follow these steps but can’t find the icons on the left? Try zooming out of your screen by clicking CTRL- on a PC or CMD- on Mac.
Am I required to pay for a seat that I didn’t use?
Yes. Seat registrations are similar to pre-paid concert tickets – they cannot be “deleted” or refunded. You can always add extra seats to your registration or assign an empty unused seat to a new student. Once you have submitted a registration, you are obligated to pay the full amount invoiced.
Please read the guidelines, notifications, and terms and conditions carefully before placing an order, or contact us at [email protected] if you need extra guidance before registering.
Do you take purchase orders as payment?
We do not accept purchase orders as payment. Your school may send a check to:
AATSP – National Spanish Examinations
160 Rail Road
Suite 3
Chesterton, IN 46304
How can I redeem a Gift Certificate?
To redeem your gift certificate, have a photo of the certificate ready and please email us at [email protected] before you complete your registration so we can adjust your invoice.
What is the deadline for payment?
In order to accommodate all participating schools across the United States and their different accounting processes, we do not state final payment deadlines for our national examinations (NSE, NPE, NSC). However, all seat registrations and AATSP membership activations must be paid and updated in order for teachers to receive their national results and students’ medals. We recommend submitting your payment by the time national examination ends in order to receive your results and medals on time. Teachers who renew their AATSP memberships and/or submit their exam payments after examination windows have closed run the risk of receiving their medals in the Summer.
Payment for the National Spanish Assessment (NSA), which is not a national competition, is expected one month from the placed order.
What are the late fees?
Registration of national examinations (NSE, NPE, NSC) runs through Fall-Winter. An invoice is generated with every order that is placed by an instructor or school. Please take a look at your exam’s specific testing window to understand the following:
• Regular Registration*: Begins on November 1st, 2023 and ends on February 9, 2024 at $5 per student seat.
• Late Registration: Grace period between Regular Registration and the examination window, at $6 per student seat.
• Last-Minute Registration: Emergency add-ons during the examination window, at $8 per student seat.
*Exact Regular Registration dates for our competitions can vary by year. There are no late fees for the National Spanish Assessment (NSA).
Can I get a refund for seats that I did not use?
The AATSP Exams (NSE) office does not issue refunds for unused seats/exams.
The exam administration periods typically last well over four weeks, and are communicated over four months in advance. We encourage teachers to organize their own calendars in order to make the time to administer the exam within the exam administration windows, as we do not grant extensions.
