Comments.Text: Yes, as others have noted, there is no restriction at all. In other words, it is possible (and legal) to have 9 queens, per side. (Original queen plus 8 pawns promoted to queens.) (Likewise, 10 rooks are possible, as are 10 bishops, as are 10 knights.)

  Yes, you can.
  
  [Fide rules of chess](https://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=171&view=article) 3.7.e):
  
  When a player, having the move, plays a pawn to the rank furthest from its starting position, he must exchange that pawn as part of the same move for a new queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour on the intended square of arrival.
  This is called the square of ‘promotion’. **The player's choice is not restricted to pieces that have been captured previously.** This exchange of a pawn for another piece is called promotion, and the effect of the new piece is immediate.
