Assuming this is the United States, and "agency" refers to an employer or employment agency, not a government agency, NO, individual employers are NOT allowed to decide what ID to accept (add to or subtract from the acceptable ID lists). Form I-9 says that passports, unexpired or expired or acceptable. So are "green cards". Accept one but not the other and you'll probably be accused of employment discrimination. >It is possible to switch citizenship from one country >to another. It is also possible to hold citizenship in more then one >country at a time. Apparently there aren't enough of these to worry about someone slipping through the cracks. If you renounce USA citizenship, you aren't too likely to try to come back and get a job here.
