Officially speaking not really; Judaism's official stance is that it accepts converts but doesn't seek them. The official rules say, if your mother is Jewish you're automatically Jewish, and if your father is Jewish you do not need to pass any conversion exams or engage in exhaustive study, nevertheless you do need to undergo an official ceremony to be accepted into a religious community. Here is how that works; to convert to Judaism requires exhaustive study of the first five books of Moses, in addition to important sections of the Talmud "every Jew needs to know." Someone whose father is Jewish, they do not have to study that hard but they still need to undergo a formal ceremony, a person born to a Jewish mother does not need to do anything. A convert, needs to both study AND undergo the ceremony.
