"Clare's Law", which enables women to check the police record of a new boyfriend, will be expanded to cover all of England and Wales.
It has been piloted in Greater Manchester, Wiltshire, Nottinghamshire and Gwent since September 2012.
The policy is named after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton at her Salford home in February 2009.
She was unaware of his history of violence against women.
The law is expected to take effect across England and Wales in March
