- Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski said the first copy of the marriage certificate was completed without delay at Warsaw City Hall on Thursday.
- In November 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union required Poland to recognize same-sex marriages from other EU countries, and since then the Supreme Administrative Court has ordered transcriptions for seven couples in total.
- A future government regulation is intended to standardize transcriptions nationwide, has been signed by Krzysztof Gawkowski, and a countersignature by Marcin Kierwiński was announced for the coming days.
- The transcription does not change the fact that same-sex marriages and civil partnerships remain illegal in Poland, and it does not fully resolve issues such as inheritance, taxation, and access to medical data.
