You can't. She would need to have either an ITIN or a SSN in order to claim her as a dependent. You would need to apply for an ITIN in order to claim her.

"If the ITIN is for a dependent, the documentation must prove that the dependent is a U.S. citizen or national or a resident of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Republic of Korea (South Korea), or India. The documentation must also prove the dependent's current connection to the United States, such as a passport with date of entry. If the dependent's passport doesn't have a date of entry, then you may submit medical records, if the dependent is under the age of 6, or school records from a U.S. facility. However, if you're living abroad and have adopted a foreign child, or have had a foreign child legally placed in your home pending an adoption, that child may be eligible for an ITIN. If the dependent is a minor, the documentation must establish the relationship between the dependent and the representative signing the application on the dependent's behalf. This could include a birth certificate, adoption papers, or other court-appointed papers showing legal guardianship. In the case of dependents that are residents of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) or India, refer to Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens for additional documentation that may be required."https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc857
