I think if I went to the local Police shop, and confessed that i changed a washers with out a lincese, it would be a joke. I know this example is a stretch, but it is your claim.
I think you may be mistaken.

Actually yes it is. There are laws on this and if you do not comply you can be charged.
You can also void you insurance e.g. water damage.
With unlicensed electrical work if your house burns down or worse burns down the one next door as well you will have no insurance and will possibly end up in jail.
When I was in my late teens, early 20s I worked at the electricity supply board and there were several people charged with unlicensed work on their own homes which usually lead to them being ordered to have it re-wired by a professional except for one case in Howard where the amateur electrician was fined $3000 and THEN had his electricity disconnected until his whole hose was redone.
