Here are the steps to become a Muslim. You do not need any witness or go to the mosque.You can easily declare by yourself that Allah is the only God and Muhammad is the final Messenger and you can do it anywhere,anytime.
First of all ask these questions to yourself:
Do you believe Allah is the Only Creator of the whole universe and He Alone should be worshipped and do you accept Muhammad pbuh as the final messenger and slave of Allah?
If YES proceed to the next question
If you were to convert,can you perform the 5 obligatory prayers daily?
If YES proceed to the next question
If you were to convert,can you pay zakat/charity?
If YES
Then do not hesitate to surrender yourself to Allah The Almightty before it is too late.
