and on that note, I believe that the O/P has enough information to make an educated decision.

There are people who can offer a paid service, but there is always a doubt re the info they give. If you in Bangkok just take a copy of his/her passport (latest) and go down to Suan Plu, the IDC section are the guys who maintain the database.

OPWho? I still haven't received an answer to the original question. Is there a service that can assist in determining if a blacklist is legitimate?
The point if these threads is to make it searchable for anyone with similar questions in the future and instead I'm receiving answers that are unrelated or assuming.

He is blacklisted by the Royal Thai Immigration Bureau, here is the link with contact form to directly ask your question to them:

OPAnd to clarify. This blacklist paper he was given has his name incorrectly spelled and his passport number isn't correct. I know that it is up to the immigration officer to decide and I don't know if this was a quiet pass or just someone not doing there job that day
Kelcie ********
OPI feel like I'm just not able to get in contact with someone who can give me a legitimate answer
Kelcie ********
OPI even called and still wasn't able to get any real answer and then I was directed to use that contact form ^^
Robert *******
Ok, understand.
Kelcie ********
OPI've already tried directly contacting immigration and I haven't received anything back in 30 days. That's why I'm looking for a paid service
Kelcie ********
OPIs there a service available to check? That's the question. There are likely others with the same question so it would be helpful to have answers related
Tod *********
I just spoke to that company and they said they don't do it anymore :/
Kelcie ********
OPThanks for actually answering the question. Have you or someone you know used the service?

It seems these guys can do it for 3000 baht:

I'd say no matter what his paperwork says, he's black listed until the 3 years are up.
Kelcie ********
OPIs there a service to check? Or no?
Robert *******
Look in his passport, search the day that left Thailand and count 3 years forward. After that day he can come back to Thailand.
Robert *******
This is officially announced by Immigration. I can not help you any further. Good Luck.
Kelcie ********
OPYou aren't answering the original question. I understand how to check his side. I want to know about the other side of the matter
Robert *******
That does not matter, you can not look into the old passport or just discuss when he left Thailand?
Kelcie ********
OPHe has a new passport
Kelcie ********
OPBlacklist is for 3 years, he overstayed almost two years.
Kelcie ********
OPCorrect. He did. However, I'm still wondering if there is a way to check if it was legitmate.
Tod *********
That means he "turned himself in" meaning he went to the airport or the border to leave thailand on his own. That's the only way to get a 3 year blacklisting. If he was caught inside the country it'd have been 10 years
Tod *********
How long did he overstay? And how long is his blacklisting for?
Kelcie ********
OPCurious if there is a way to actually check that would not be a scammy lawyer
Kelcie ********
OPIt's not me, it's my husband. He got it for overstay, a while back but when he got his letter, it had his information incorrectly filled out (by immigration). I received a job offer but I won't accept unless he would be able to join me. I assumed it was a no-go until his time is up but then he showed me the paperwork and it's scrambled.

what exactly leads you to believe you are blacklisted.
As a rule you know when they're taking you to your flight to deport you that you're black listed.

If you're on a blacklist due to overstay in the past, you would be informed with a letter and a stamp in your passport.
