US citizenship is the first FBI requirement
Being a US citizen is the non-negotiable starting point. No other nationality qualifies, making it the single most restrictive condition on the list before any further screening takes place.
8 other conditions FBI applicants must meet
Beyond citizenship, the FBI's published guidelines set out eight additional requirements:
1. A clean public record with no felony convictions
2. Compliance with the FBI's drug policy
3. A passed urinalysis test and background investigation
4. Student loan repayments that are in good standing
5. All required annual federal, state, and local taxes must have been filed
6. Court-ordered child support payments must be current
7. No involvement with any organisation designed to overthrow the US government
8. Registration with the Selective Service System, where applicable

The guidelines state:
"To be eligible for employment, you must adhere to the following guidelines prior to application consideration."
The conditions collectively cover financial responsibility, legal history, civic duty, and loyalty to the government, painting a picture of the kind of candidate the agency considers a trustworthy fit. Applicants who fall short on any single point face disqualification before the formal hiring process even begins.
