Currency Reader Application Process
By Alicia Waters | December 19, 2014
As of January 2, 2015, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Currency Reader project will be open to all citizens/legal residents of the United States who are unable to read regular print because of blindness or a visual impairment meeting the eligibility requirements.
Once the program opens beyond its current pilot status, the application process will change. All individuals interested in receiving a currency reader will need to complete and submit a BEP application for a currency reader and mail it directly to BEP. Those who are already NLS patrons do not need to have the BEP application certified but instead may merely check the box on the BEP application indicating that they are already a certified NLS patron.
Talking Books Plus (TBP) members who have not already requested a currency reader and want one, may visit the money factory or NLS to get a print copy of the application or call the BEP call center at 1-844-815-9388 to request a print a copy of the application.
