Nothing criminal about it. Correct. Except they don't physically "take" your licence, they just suspend or cancel it in their records. Just tell them you physically lost your licence.

In NSW, the NSW Sheriff (part of NSW Attorney Generals Department) can physically take possession of your car and house to pay off all NSW State debts. It can legally break down doors, and break into cars, to take possession. A normal debt collector cannot.
