Google has expanded Chrome’s autofill capabilities to include additional personal identification details such as passport numbers, driver’s licence information, and vehicle registration data. The enhancement builds on Chrome’s existing autofill support for addresses, passwords, and payment information, providing users with a more seamless form-filling experience across websites.
With the feature enabled, desktop users will see Chrome automatically suggest entries for documents like passports, driving licences, VINs and licence plates. Google says improved form recognition technology will help ensure accuracy across various form layouts and formats.
The company emphasised that privacy and security remain central to the update. Chrome will only store and use personal data with explicit user permission, encrypt all information end-to-end, and require user confirmation before any autofill action takes place.
The feature is currently rolling out globally across all languages, with Google noting that more document types will be supported soon.
This update is part of a broader set of upgrades to Chrome as Google looks to stay competitive in the growing field of AI-powered browsers. Recent improvements include expanding Gemini access to all Mac and Windows users in the U.S., upcoming agentic AI features, enhanced security tools such as scam detection and automatic password resets, and easier account switching options.
