Google is giving its Chrome browser a serious productivity upgrade. Starting now, Chrome can automatically fill in data from documents like passports, driver’s licenses, and even vehicle registration papers — going well beyond the usual addresses, passwords, and payment details.
Smarter Autofill for Everyday Documents
If you’re using Chrome on a PC with the enhanced autofill feature enabled, you’ll notice that the browser can now recognize and complete more complex online forms. When prompted, Chrome can automatically insert passport or driver’s license numbers, vehicle identification details (such as plate numbers or VINs), and other relevant information — saving time and reducing the chance of typing errors.
Google says Chrome has been updated to better understand different form layouts and formatting requirements, ensuring that data is entered accurately even across websites with inconsistent field naming.
The browser stores autofill information only with the user’s permission, and this data is encrypted.
Privacy and Security at the Core
As always, security is a major focus. Chrome only stores and uses your personal information with explicit permission, and all autofill data is encrypted locally. Before inserting sensitive details, the browser will ask for your confirmation — so you’re always in control of what gets filled in.
What’s Next for Chrome
This feature rollout comes as Google continues to modernize Chrome in the age of AI-powered browsers. The company has already begun integrating its Gemini model into Chrome and is experimenting with features like AI-based fraud detection, automatic password resets, and smart suggestions directly from the address bar.
Furthermore, Chrome will prompt for confirmation before filling out the relevant forms.
With these updates, Chrome isn’t just keeping up — it’s redefining what an intelligent browser can do. And as Google confirms, more document types and autofill capabilities are on the way in the coming months.
