Employment for Non-Citizens Question Do I have to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be hired by Caltrans?
Answer All new hires are required to complete the I-9 Employment Eligibility form. Under Federal regulations documented on this form, all State employees must be either 1) a US citizen 2) a lawful Permanent Resident or 3) an alien authorized to work in the United States. We also accept Canadian and Mexican citizens under the NAFTA Agreement. As part of the I-9 process, prior to being hired by any state agency, prospective employees need to either show proof of citizenship or provide certification from the Federal government confirming that you are authorized to work in the United States.
