Google announced Monday that you can now enter passports, driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations, and more as part of its AutoFill feature in its Chrome browser.
This addition extends Chrome’s existing ability to automatically fill in addresses, passwords, and payment information.
Desktop users who have Enhanced AutoFill enabled will see things like passport and driver’s license numbers and vehicle information like license plates and VIN automatically filled in on web pages when prompted.
Google says Chrome will now be able to better understand complex forms and different formatting requirements, improving accuracy across the web.
The tech giant says Chrome only stores autofill data if you give it permission, and the browser protects this information through encryption. Additionally, Chrome will ask for confirmation before entering saved information on your behalf.
These new updates will be available globally in all languages starting Monday. The company says Chrome will add support for more data types in the coming months.
Monday’s announcement comes as Google is adding additional features to Chrome to make it more useful amid a proliferation of new AI browsers.
A few weeks ago, Google rolled out Gemini in Chrome to all Mac and Windows desktop users in the US, after previously limiting the feature to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers. The tech giant also announced at the time that it had future plans to bring agent functionality to Chrome, add AI-mode search functionality to the address bar, launch new features for Gemini, use AI to combat AI-generated fraud, roll out automatic password resets, and more.
Other smaller features recently released in Chrome include a new tool to automatically disable browser notifications for websites you haven’t recently interacted with, and the ability to easily switch between work and personal Google Accounts.
