Google announced on Monday that its Chrome browser can now fill in your passport, driver’s license, vehicle registration, and more as part of its auto-fill feature. This addition expands Chrome’s existing ability to automatically fill in addresses, passwords, and payment information.
Desktop users with enhanced autofill enabled will see their passport and driver’s license numbers, vehicle information like a license plate or VIN, and other details automatically filled in on webpages when prompted. Google states that Chrome can now also better understand complex forms and varied formatting requirements, which will improve accuracy across the web.
The tech giant notes that Chrome only saves autofill data when you give it permission to do so, and the browser protects this information through encryption. Before Chrome fills in saved information on your behalf, it will ask for your confirmation.
These new updates are available globally in all languages starting Monday. In the coming months, Chrome plans to add support for even more data types.
Monday’s announcement comes as Google has been adding functionality to Chrome to make it more helpful amid the surge of new AI browsers. A few weeks ago, Google rolled out Gemini in Chrome to all Mac and Windows desktop users in the U.S. after previously limiting the capability to subscribers.
The tech giant also announced at the time that it plans to bring agentic capabilities to Chrome in the future, add its AI Mode search feature to the address bar, launch new Gemini features, use AI to combat AI-generated scams, roll out automatic password resets, and more.
Other smaller features that have launched on Chrome recently include a new tool that automatically disables browser notifications for websites you have not interacted with recently, along with a feature that makes it easier to switch between work and personal Google accounts.
