If a lawyer is licensed by a state, such as New Hampshire, how would that lawyer get to practice in the Federal court system? Where would they apply for this license?

Most Federal Courts require a lawyer to be admitted to practice by the bar of any State or US terriroty. After that, all you need to do is fill out a form and pay a fee. A few Federal Courts require admittance to the bar of the State that the Court is located in. Call the clerks office of the federal court you are interested in and find out what the local rules are.
