 Solution

The free-space Green function of the Laplacian for the Poisson equation gives the electric potentialFor $r=|\mathbf{x}|\gg R$, its electric multipole expansion begins withDefine the total electric charge and electric dipole moment byThen

The analogous solution for the magnetic vector potential isIts apparent $r^{-1}$ coefficient is ${\mu }_0(4\pi {)}^{-1}\int \mathbf{J}{d}^3{x}^{\prime }$. For each component, the supplied identity and the divergence-free vector field condition giveThe divergence theorem turns this into a surface integral outside the compact support of the current density, where $\mathbf{J}=0$. Hence $\int \mathbf{J}{d}^3{x}^{\prime }=0$, so the $1/r$ term vanishes.
