Travel requirements back to UK for 17-year-old child

score:4

Accepted answer

The following is what he needs:

  1. Check-in for flight to the US: US passport
  2. US border control: US passport (at most airports he'll use a kiosk to scan his passport and get a receipt which he'll then present to the officer)
  3. Check-in for flight to the UK: British passport
  4. UK border control: British passport (at most airports he can use an e-passport gate and won't need to see an officer at all)

Absolutely no other paperwork is needed for the UK - again he almost certainly won't need to see an officer to begin with.

For the US, TIMATIC, the database used by airlines, says:

Minors traveling unaccompanied, or accompanied by one parent or a person other than parent/legal guardian, can prevent possible delays if holding a notarized letter of authorization signed by absent parent(s). For more details refer to https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/3643/kw .
