Chrome Adds Opt-In Autofill for Passports, Driver’s Licenses and Vehicle Info

Users enable the feature manually, with encrypted storage and potential page-detail sharing for suggestions.

Overview

  • Google is rolling out the Enhanced Autofill update globally on desktop in all languages starting now.
  • Once enabled, Chrome can save and fill passport and driver’s license numbers as well as vehicle details like license plates and VINs.
  • Enhanced Autofill improves Chrome’s ability to recognize complex forms and varied formatting to increase accuracy across websites.
  • Google says data is saved only with permission, stored encrypted, and requires user confirmation before Chrome fills sensitive fields.
  • Product documentation notes that enabling Enhanced Autofill may send a page’s URL and content to Google, and Google plans to add more supported data types as part of broader Chrome AI upgrades such as recent Gemini expansion.
