Narrative:
Fuel door verification procedures were not accomplished. On the day prior to this trip; we had flown flight abcb ZZZ to ZZZZ in which we had accomplished the fuel door verification procedure. Upon departure at ZZZZ we were taking the exact aircraft we'd flown in. We'd ferried fuel in the day before and assumed that we would not require the verification procedure because we figured the fuel door would not have been opened. We misunderstood that the requirement was for all flights; regardless of any extenuating circumstances. Closer attention to detail in reviewing recent policy and procedure changes; especially after a long layoff.
