# Star of the Republic of Indonesia

The Star of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Bintang Republik Indonesia) is Indonesia's highest order awarded to both civilians and the military for their merits to the republic and the people. It was officially instituted in 1959.
It is awarded to a person who has given extraordinary service to the integrity, viability, and greatness of Indonesia. As the highest order of the Republic, its grand master is the President of the Republic of Indonesia, who after their inauguration is bestowed upon with the collar and medal of the "Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipurna" class. The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, after their inauguration, is also bestowed upon with the collar and medal of the "Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipradana" class.

## Classes

The order is awarded in five classes.
| Adipurna (1st class) | Adipradana (2nd class) | Utama (3rd class) | Pratama (4th class) | Nararya (5th class) |
Recipients of the Star of the Republic of Indonesia wear the star on a sash and a breast star on the left chest.
Prior to 1972, only Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipurna recipients wore the star on a sash. Recipients of the Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipradana wore the star on a ribbon which was worn around the neck. Both of Adipurna and Adipradana classes wore a breast star on the left chest. Recipients of the Bintang Republik Indonesia Utama, Pratama, and Nararya wore the star on a ribbon on the left chest; with rosette for the Pratama class.
