Is the word verificar the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "verificar" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated, and the final "r" is often pronounced as a soft "h" (as in "house") or a retroflex "r" (as in "car"), depending on the region. In Continental Portuguese, vowels are often more closed or reduced (sometimes nearly swallowed), and the "r" tends to be more guttural or a distinct alveolar tap, giving the word a more "clipped" sound.
