No need for a Cartão do Leitor. I was there last year and they have 2 computers available. I went one day and both were occupied so I waited awhile and then gave up to return in the afternoon and use one of the computers. Regular copies were less than an euro the person doing the copy even gave me two free copies because they had no change but next day I wanted to pay and she said no. Another time they emailed me the records I wanted, very helpful people.
