What is a legalized copy? - Woman in Red and Brown Scarf

I am from Russia, since September I move to Luxembourg to study. At the moment I am preparing documents for obtaining permission for stay in Luxembourg. In official lists of documents I see the requirement to present legalized copies of documents like birth certificate and bank certificate.

I am interested to know whether 'legalized' means only notarized copies or documents with apostile. To my mind apostile seems to be more formal and thus more appropriate but I want to make sure.
