Can you have multiple life insurance policies with multiple insurance companies?

Yes, you can own multiple life insurance policies with multiple insurance companies. The application for coverage usually asks if you own other life insurance policies and how much coverage you own. The insurance company wants to make sure you aren't over-insured for any reason. But, if they say it's ok, you can buy life insurance with several insurance companies. Just make sure to answer the questions on the application truthfully. I hope that helps. Best of luck to you.
