It will provide all government services in electronic form to all citizens in a timely, easy, high quality and effective manner with great productivity and time savings. However, user acceptance is one of the essential keys for adoption and success of e-government application and services. Many studies emphasize that trust is one of the important factors in the adoption studies of e-government.

Based on the amended (UTAUT) model we study the impact of trust on the adoption of e-government services form citizens’ perception.
