"Stamp your form"
Definition
To officially process or approve a document with a physical stamp, typically in a bureaucratic or administrative setting.
How to use it
Used literally in official contexts like immigration, parole, and government offices. In this scene, Red uses it to show contempt for the whole system: he sees the board as just going through the motions.
Examples
► "The officer stamped his form and slid it back without saying a word."
► "She felt like the interview was just a formality and they were there to stamp her form."
