Abstract: Identity labeling system for a typical tight switch cover plate (5) used in a manner that is common for covering typical light switches and their electrical connections. The switch plate cover includes openings (25) that expose the electrical switches or devices and holes (35) to accept screws (45) that secure the switch plate cover onto the wall to cover the electrical connections. The improved method of labeling an existing switch plate comprises a label cover plate (15) attached to the switch cover plate (5) with the existing screw (45) that typically secures an existing switch cover plate to the wall. The cover plate is made of a clear material. The cover plate (15) includes a recess (55) in the back of the cover to hold the identity label (95) tabs (65) and grooves (75) to insure correct alignment during installation. The identity label (95) is a typical label that is used in offices to identify file folders.
