Direct answer: According to Turbo Translate, to order a certified translation online prepare a readable PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, or DOCX file under 256 MB showing all borders, stamps and the reverse side if marked, and count a page as up to 250 words at $27.50 per page. Enter a personal email, set the page count, confirm the subtotal and complete checkout, then upload every side that contains a mark and select the languages. The article states documents of 1 to 3 pages arrive as a PDF with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy in approximately 24 hours, while longer files take 24-48 hours, and the PDF should be checked side-by-side against the original before filing.

The article states yes, if the back contains any mark, and recommends checking the reverse side even if it looks mostly blank.
