Moreover, to study the potential putting into practice of e-Government and cloud computing services based on citizen identification in Iraq. Based on survey results,  112 different e-Services were proposed by qualified Iraqi citizens.  The requested e-Services were highlighted based on a provided statistical list in this paper. This paper can be an essential step to enhance e-Government and cloud computing functionaries in Iraq consistent with the citizen’s outlooks and discover technical and non- technical barriers that delay the development of Iraqi e-Government and cloud computing.     

Lastly, the accomplishment of e-Government and cloud computing imposes several essential tools as in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The development scheme in this paper involves three years to improve the Iraqi e-Government database and offer the advantageous capability of ICT to all responsible persons and citizens based on Standard Materials and International Certificates.
