require

Hello, I would like to make sure about the following statement:
I know that the word 'require' means 'need', 'demand'.
In the application form I am supposed to complete, there is a question:
"Do you require a work permit?"
If I understand well, it means "do you need a work permit to work in the uk?" As I don't need a special permit to work, I should mark the answer 'no'.
In another document there is a question:
Do you require a certificate or sponsorship to work in UK? Again, I think the correct answer for me is 'no'.
I have just wanted to make sure that the word 'require' in a formal context does not mean 'have'.
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards. Emotion: smile

Coincidence make sure that the word 'require' in a formal context does not mean 'have'. I don't see any way that 'require' could mean 'have'. No.

I don't see any way that 'require' could mean 'have'. No. That doesn't make sense. If they wanted to know if you had that certificate, they would have asked, "Do you have a certificate or ...?"
