Just declare it. Dedicate yourself to the gods and ancestors if you want, but there's nothing official you must do. You just start living it out as best you can.

Aside from the seven Noahide laws, there's no other indoctrination?
Believe everything mainstream Judaism believes; I'd say most Noachides are associated with Orthodox Judaism, not other sects. This is kind of obvious though. So no, nothing else.
I'm curious as to the process in which a Noahide, given the fact that their beliefs are apparently in line with Orthodox Judaism, might be accepted as a Orthodox Jew should a Noahide wish to be accepted as such.
They would go through a formal conversion to Judaism, the same as anyone else.
So someone who already accepts Judaism would be subject to the same conversion process as someone who previously hadn't accepted their beliefs, such as an atheist, Catholic, or Hindu? There is no 'fast track' since their beliefs already align with Judaism?
No, because the Jewish people are part of a different covenant with G-d. It's like a contract; you have to go through all the paperwork first.

Yes, I also read that recently. Quite refreshing compared to proselytizing faiths

Would be vey hard to covert to my "faith", as my Master advises to stick to your own faith, no need to change faith (even better not to change; better dig 1 deep hole instead of many holes to find water), as all religions have "all you need" (=Love) in them.
The main deal for Baha’is is to believe in Bahá’u’lláh as the Manifestation of God for this day and have a basic understanding of the Central figures of the faith and the Baha’i administration. A Baha’i Assembly (usually local or National if there’s no local) would ensure these requirements are met.

My religion is good standard. Laws of my country are all about money and own things. My religion is better than my country's laws.

I follow the laws of my religion because I want to. I follow the laws of my country because I am forced to.

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Remember that you don't need to become a Jew to believe what Judaism teaches. We don't teach that everyone needs to be a Jew. We actually encourage Ethical Monotheism. You should talk to Rival about this -- he is a righteous Gentile who believes in a God and is obedient to moral principles yet never became a Jew.
The truth is that "conversion to Judaism" is way more than becoming a new religion. It is adoption into the Jewish People. It's a tribal thing. It would be similar to becoming a Lakota or something. When Ruth in the Bible says, "Your people shall be my people and your God shall be my God," she basically makes two statements:
1. that she will undergo an ethnic conversion, where she is abandoning the Moabites and throwing in her lot with the Jews, identifying solely with us.
2. that she will undergo a religious conversion as well, worshiping only the God of the Jews.
Thus Jewish conversion encompasses much more than studying the religion. It means studying the history, the traditions and culture, and the language of the Jews. It means moving to where Jews live and making Jewish friends and becoming involved in Jewish society--literally leaving your old life behind as Ruth did. So of course, yes, it takes a long time.
