Can My eQuals documents be used?

Potentially, depending on the institution, the verification path, and what the receiving authority will accept.

Detailed answer

My eQuals can be very useful where the institution has issued the record in a verifiable digital format, but it should not be treated as an automatic answer. The route still depends on the institution, the document type, the receiving authority, and whether the destination expects apostille, authentication, attestation, direct academic verification, or a wider document pack such as degree plus transcript.

Common risks

Using a screenshot or informal download instead of an issuer-generated record.
Assuming digital availability removes all destination-side review.
Failing to check whether the receiver wants both degree and transcript.

What we usually need

My eQuals share or issuer-generated academic file.
Destination country and receiving institution or regulator.
Any wording from the receiver about apostille, authentication, verification, or attestation.

Implementation note

This should anchor a whole guide family. Keep wording careful and review-led. Never imply every My eQuals record is accepted everywhere.
