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.
The addition expands Chrome’s existing ability to automatically fill in your addresses, passwords, and payment information.
Desktop users who have enhanced autofill enabled will see their passport and driver’s license number, vehicle information — like their license plate or VIN — and more automatically filled in on webpages when they’re prompted to enter them.
Google says 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 that the browser will protect this information through encryption. Additionally, before Chrome fills in saved information on your behalf, it will ask you to confirm.
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, the company says.
Monday’s announcement comes as Google has been adding additional 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 Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra 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 the websites you haven’t interacted with recently, along with a feature that makes it easier to switch between work and personal Google accounts.
