It probably applies if are you registered with any official professional bodies, like the accountant's institute, the league of clockmakers or whatever. "No" is probably the right answer, though depending on who the employer is, they might consider overseas equivalents.

as above really.. unless you are members of pro orgs in your/other countries! Then I would put them down making it clear they are foreign.

What job are you applying for? I'm a registered nurse, so for me "professional registration" refers to the national body holding my details on the nurses register, and if I (or sopmeone else) tried to work as a registered nurse without being on the professional register, then the emplyer wouldn't employ, if you follow.

There are ways of overseas nurses getting regsitered without having to retrain for 3 years, but some of it depends on whether the UK body feels that the local equivalent is of a sufficient standard.
