Do I need verification?

Note that verification doesn't give any additional abilities in Telegram - it is simply one of the ways to demonstrate that your channel, group or bot is official. A link to Telegram on your official site or other official accounts elsewhere can achieve a similar result.

How do I change the name or short link after verification?

-

A verified channel, group or bot can't change its name or short link (t.me/…). If changes are necessary, you can remove verification status first. Contact @VerifyBot and send /unverify. You can then reobtain verification using the bot.
