Official Protocol Script for the 81st Indonesian Independence Day Ceremony 2026
The master of ceremony (MC) for the 81st Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia flag ceremony requires a protocol script to guide the proceedings. Naturally, the protocol script must be adapted to the order of ceremony being used.
This year, the government has officially announced two orders of ceremony. The first is from the Ministry of State Secretariat in Circular Letter Number: B-13/M/S/TU.00.03/08/2026. The second is from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in letter number: 17756/B/A/TU.02.03/2026.

A protocol text is one of many types of procedural texts. Unlike other procedural texts, a protocol text tends to have steps that are simple and easy to understand. In the context of a ceremony, the protocol text contains the order and sequence of activities that must be carried out systematically so that the ceremony can proceed in an orderly, smooth manner and in accordance with applicable regulations.
