We are changing the company name. Does the door marking have to be redone right away?

Yes, and it is worth doing before the paperwork is even dry. The marking has to show the legal name or the single trade name the carrier is registered under — once the registration changes, a door still carrying the old name no longer matches the record it is supposed to match. Bring the updated filing and we cut the new set to it.

On a box truck, where do the numbers actually go — the cab door or the box?

Either, as long as they are on both sides and readable. The rule cares about legibility from fifty feet, not about which panel. The cab door is the convention because it is flat, clean and at eye level; the box works when the door is glass-heavy or badly curved, and it is the usual answer on a truck with a wrap already covering the cab.

Do both sides need it, or is one door enough?

Both. The requirement is explicitly both sides of the vehicle, and a single-side set is one of the easier things for an inspector to notice from where they are standing. It is also why we cut sets in pairs rather than selling you one door at a time.
