You are required to supply a Social Security Number (SSN) when claiming someone as a dependent on your tax return. Or, use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) if they are not eligible for an SSN.
In the event of a time crunch (tax deadline approaching) you have two options:
- Go ahead and file (and not claim them), then later file an amended return with the SSN/ITIN information.
- Or, you can file for an extension if you expect to have their SSN/ITIN by then.
The IRS site has an FAQ question related to this here, and there is some more ITIN information.

Though note that filing for an extension does not extend the date due for your tax payment, if you owe. You're still expected to pay what you would owe on time. You would probably need to still run the numbers to see what you should owe, and pay that. If your calculations show that you are getting a refund, then that's great, and no penalty for not paying. But, if you owe, you need to pay what you expect to owe. If you don't, you'll get hit with late payment penalties. See irs.gov/newsroom/… for details.

The accepted answer is fine for situations where a dependent does not yet have an SSN, but is not appropriate for when your spouse does not yet have an SSN.
If your spouse does not yet have or cannot get an SSN, you apply for an ITIN when you file your taxes, not before or after filing your tax return.
Fill out your tax return just as you would if they had an SSN/ITIN, but you'll leave their SSN field blank and you'll attach Form W7 to your return, which is the application for ITIN. This means mailing in a paper return.
