Abstract :

In Iran's domestic law, the principle is based on the criterion of the main residence, but in raising the question, what is the citizenship of electronic companies and the law governing their shares based on and what are its effects? These assumptions have been raised that in Iranian law based on Article 1002 of the Civil Code and Article 591 of the Trade Law. And Articles 1 and 3 of the Companies Registration Law, the citizenship of electronic companies and the law governing their shares is based on their operations and activity center. Some electronic companies are registered outside of Iran and their citizenship is certain, but the representation of these companies is based on Article 3 of the Companies Registration Law and Article 1002 of the Civil Code. But regarding a number of electronic companies that are neither registered nor have national citizenship and operate in the cyberspace, there is a legal gap in Iran's laws. The comparative method is used.
