Google Chrome has expanded its Autofill feature with a deeper integration with Google Wallet on Android and iOS, allowing the browser to automatically draw on passports, driver's licenses, flight information, and vehicle data stored in your Wallet to fill in forms. The rollout was confirmed by Google's official blog on June 23, 2026, with the update shipping as part of Chrome 150 for Android.
Key Takeaways
- Chrome on Android and iOS can now auto-fill forms using passport, driver's license, Known Traveler Numbers, flight details, and vehicle VINs from Google Wallet.
- Previously desktop-only, these "complex data types" now extend to Android and iOS with Chrome 150 and the latest iOS release.
- All sensitive data is encrypted; Chrome only saves or fills information with explicit user permission.
- The feature is bidirectional — Chrome will offer to save new identity or travel data to Wallet the first time you enter it on a supported site.
- Google reorganized Chrome's Autofill settings into five clear categories, including new Identity Documents and Travel Information sections.
What Chrome Autofill Can Now Fill
Prior to this update, Chrome Autofill handled passwords, payment cards, and basic address information. The June 2026 update adds a new tier of "complex data types" — information that travelers and vehicle owners routinely key into forms — on Android and iOS:
- Driver's license details — stored as a digital credential in Google Wallet
- Passport data — name, document number, nationality, and expiry date
- Known Traveler Number (KTN) — used for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and similar trusted-traveler programs
- Flight details — airline, flight number, departure and arrival info
- Vehicle license plate numbers and VINs — useful for parking apps, car-rental forms, and vehicle registration portals
Support for these data types was already available on Chrome desktop. The June update brings them to Android and iOS, completing full cross-platform availability.
How the Integration Works
When Chrome detects form fields that match stored Wallet data, it surfaces a one-tap autofill prompt inline. Tapping it pulls the relevant data from Google Wallet — no switching apps or manual copy-pasting required. The flow is identical to existing payment-card or address autofill, just with a broader set of supported field types.
The feature also works in reverse. The first time a user manually types in a document number, VIN, or travel credential on a supported site, Chrome offers to save that information to Google Wallet for future use across all signed-in devices.
Privacy and Security Controls
Google emphasizes that all sensitive identity data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Chrome will not auto-fill ID or travel information without user interaction — there is no silent background syncing to third-party forms.
Controls are split across two surfaces:
- Google Wallet — for managing identity documents, passes, and private IDs
- Chrome Autofill and passwords settings — for addresses, contact information, and payment methods
Private document passes — such as state-issued digital IDs — carry a separate permission layer requiring explicit confirmation before Chrome shares that data with any site.
Reorganized Autofill Settings
Alongside the new data types, Google restructured Chrome's Autofill settings panel into five clearly labeled categories:
- Passwords
- Payment methods
- Addresses and contact information
- Identity documents (new)
- Travel information (new)
The reorganization is designed to make it immediately clear what Chrome can and cannot fill on a given site, and to give users a single place to audit stored credentials and documents.
Availability
The update ships as part of Chrome 150 for Android. iOS users receive the expanded capabilities via the latest Chrome version on the App Store. No separate opt-in is needed — if Google Wallet data is already stored and Chrome is updated, the new autofill categories appear automatically.
For users in the Philippines, the new passport and driver's license autofill is immediately relevant for travel booking sites, airline check-in forms, and portals that request license or vehicle registration details.
FAQ
How do I use Chrome's new passport autofill on Android?
Update Chrome to version 150 on Android (or the latest version on iOS), then ensure your identity documents are saved in Google Wallet. Chrome will automatically prompt you to use Wallet data when it detects compatible passport or license fields on a supported site — no additional settings toggle is required.
Is my passport data safe if I save it to Google Wallet?
Google states all sensitive data is encrypted and Chrome only fills or saves information with your explicit permission. You can review and delete stored documents at any time through the Google Wallet app or Chrome's Autofill and passwords settings.
Does this feature work on desktop Chrome as well?
Support for flight details, vehicle info, and VINs was already present on desktop Chrome. The June 2026 update extends these capabilities to Android and iOS, completing availability across all platforms.
