Statutory declarations act - who is a permissible witness?

[zazou]

What is the most pain free way for someone to be vouched for according to the Statutory Declarations Act of 1835?
For someone not British, would the relevant embassy or their bank be an option?

According to Wikipedia, a solicitor can do it for you.

Statutory declaration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the Statutory Declarations Act 1835,[4] the defendant’s declaration can be made before anyone who is authorised by law to hear it (for example, a solicitor), or before any Justice of the Peace. The person who hears the declaration need not enquire into the truth of it. That person’s function is limited to hearing the declaration, and certifying that he or she has done so by signing it. If the declaration turns out to be untrue, the defendant making it may be punished for perjury.

A simple Google search would have given you the same information.
