Because it has become a reality that cannot Ignoring it within the framework of e-governments, and communication technology, and some countries have stipulated it with special laws, so that most of its daily activities are of a digital and technological nature to exercise its rights and perform its obligations, and work to establish a new term called "global or digital citizenship" based legally on a citizen identification number, and this right and that stipulated in the Iraqi Constitution of 2005, within its texts, but these articles did not show us an accurate and clear constitutional organization for this freedom.
