What's the verb for using a stapler to connect to between two or more papers?
In a dictionary I found too much and I'm not sure which of them is the accurate in this context.
to pair, to connect, to network, to matchmaker; (slang) to staple.
Assuming that I do not want to use slang, what's the correct choice for this context?
The word you're looking for is staple. It's both a noun, referring to the small piece of metal that's ejected by a stapler, as well as a verb, meaning to use a stapler to apply a staple.
Example: Staple the receipt to the expense form so it doesn't get lost.
