- 1945 Constitution (Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 or UUD'45)
- Law (Undang-Undang or UU)and Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang or Perpu)
- Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah or PP)
- Presidential Regulation (Peraturan Presiden or Perpres)
- Regional Regulation (Peraturan Daerah or Perda)
In practice, there are also Presidential Instruction (Instruksi Presiden or Inpres), Ministerial Decree (Keputusan Menteri or Kepmen) and Circulation Letters (Surat Edaran), which sometimes conflicts with each other.
Once legislative products are promulgated, the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia) is issued from the State Secretariat. Sometimes Elucidation (Penjelasan) accompanied some legislations in a Supplement of the State Gazette. The Government of Indonesia also produces State Reports (Berita Negara) to publish government and public notices.
