For activities that require a licence for you to engage in them, you can
be asked to produce that licence, but in most circumstances you don't
have to do so instantly, as there is no requirement to carry the licence.
(IIRC you get seven days to produce a driving licence). 

I'm curious as to what the other circumstances are where refusal to
provide information to police is actually an offence? As I understand it
they'd each need to be explicitly set out in statute. 

Failing to provide a sample of breath, urine, or blood when suspected
of being drunk in charge of a vehicle is the only one I think of off
the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others.
