We investigate out of equilibrium transport through an orbital Kondo system realized in a single quantum dot, described by the multiorbital impurity Anderson model. Shot noise and current are calculated up to the third order in bias voltage in the particle-hole symmetric case, using the renormalized perturbation theory. The derived expressions are asymptotically exact at low energies. The resulting Fano factor of the backscattering current $F_b$ is expressed in terms of the Wilson ratio $R$ and the orbital degeneracy $N$ as $F_b =\frac{1 + 9(N-1)(R-1)^2}{1 + 5(N-1)(R-1)^2}$ at zero temperature. Then, for small Coulomb repulsions $U$, we calculate the Fano factor exactly up to terms of order $U^5$, and also carry out the numerical renormalization group calculation for intermediate $U$ in the case of two- and four-fold degeneracy ($N=2,\,4$). As $U$ increases, the charge fluctuation in the dot is suppressed, and the Fano factor varies rapidly from the noninteracting value $F_b=1$ to the value in the Kondo limit $F_b=\frac{N+8}{N+4}$, near the crossover region $U\sim \pi \Gamma$, with the energy scale of the hybridization $\Gamma$.
