It depends on your upstream ISPs.

Conventionally, some choose to place exact filters in place on BGP
announcements that exactly match IP space that is registered with a RIR or
LIR, some build those filters from IRR sources, and others just filter on
the number of prefixes your sending (to avoid sending a whole table out on
accident). I'm sure there are some other filtering schemes in place around
the world.

In the case of exact filters, you'll need to contact your upstream ISPs and
ask them to update their filters.
In the case of IRR-sourced filtering information, update the prefixes that
you originate with your IRR provider.
And in the case of max-prefix filtering, ask your ISP what they have their
equipment set to.
