Consider the following sentences.

  • 警察官が免許を没収した。The police officer seized (my) license.
  • 免許が警察官に没収された。(My) license was confiscated by the police officer.

If I want to use 「免許が没収になった。」, how can I insert 警察官 into it?

You can use ～によって and say 免許が警察官によって没収になった. 免許が警察官に没収になった would also be understood, but many people would say this is clumsy due to the duplication of に.

You can put 警察官　in the beginning. 警察官により免許が没収になった。. It sounds bit awkward but I think it works in the same way.
