You can do it but you need to give your castle or city to them. Go and talk to some of your companions that you want to make vassal. And then there is talk section which is "I wish to make you my vassal and bestow Onira as for fief". Choose it and you have a new vassal clan.

Ive played for over 150 hours now and never saw this option once. New feature?

I saw it yesterday so it can be a new feature. I also played 100+ hours and didn't see it till yesterday.

Are you sure you're not playing with one of the vassal enabling mods?

Came here because I was surprised it's still not in the game yet.

Edit: I'm at around 900 hours of playtime.

This has just been added in 1.6.4, the below is from the latest patch notes

It is now possible for players to promote companions into nobles with their own clan. In order to use this feature, the player must:
Be the leader of a kingdom.
Have at least one fief.
Have an active companion that is not a family member.
Have 20.000 Denars and 500 Influence ready to spend for the promotion.
Once the conditions are met the player can initiate the dialogue with a companion about their promotion. The player will grant the companion one of their fiefs and will be able to name their clan. The newly created clan will be a tier 2 clan and receive a 50 relation bonus with the player’s clan.

Well now I know who to marry my daughters and nieces to.

I have now seen it in the patch notes and it seems they have added it but I can't find the option.

For anyone wondering, this is now enabled in the stable branch (currently 1.7.0, but available since 1.6.5 or so), and it's f-ing awesome.

This is a great feature, but there are some questions left. After having created 3 armies with my 3 companions and fighting several battles with them and their armies, I decided to reward them and give them one castle each and their own clan / being vassal. Ok........but since then, they are sitting in their castles doing nothing. I have no support at all while fighting wars. Don´t they have enough money to keep an ( even small ) army, cruise around as a small lord, like I did in the past? Does it help, when I give them e.g. 50.000 € / each, as a single payment? Thanks for your help in this matter: how do I make my vassals active. I want to keep that system, don´t want to hire foreign lords and invite them in my realm, that makes no sense. I want to promote my own people.....
Don´t tell me that I will have to pamper all my staff for the next 100 years, check if they run their fiefs correctly, have sufficient armies, trained and upgraded etc. I have 5 cities and 6 castles at this stage an this is already overwhelming work and micromanagement. I need reliable people and employees.

also, iirc they dont breed. so even if they can marry (not even sure they do that), they still dont have babies. so they die out eventually.

I dont normally reply to necro posts, especially ones pushing 3 years old..

but since the issue is STILL there, and u are wondering, I will offer my understanding of it.

1- Do not promote companions ... it doesnt help at all
2- They do NOT marry (at least I dont think they do)
3- If they are married before they are promoted (like a kid and his wife etc..) then yeah they are married, but wont breed
4- All in all, as far as I know (based on reading, and limited testing when this came out last year).. Promoting companions/wanderers is still not "fully implemented"

If I'm wrong, I am sure someone will correct me here, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

but this is how I understand it to STILL be in the game. (and yeah, it WAS certainly that way at one time or another, over the many patches in the past).

Necro posts.......;-) it makes no sense to open a new one with the same topic, that´s why I chose this one. Thanks for this answer, but it seems, this feature isn´t really an issue for most of the players, that´s why I did not find a lot of information about it, everything in the status of rumors, no clear information. Not marrying and breeding and founding their own dynasty is indeed a problem. But all of my ex-companions have their own companions now, this seems to work. Is it really the only solution to grab and hire totally foreign lords from all kind of fractions just to keep my realm steady? Bad gameplay........

Yes that is better. Companions as lords are weak they have no Family and no Money and they dont get Family from alone until they can help you near every war is over. A foreign Lord dont come alone if you chose the right lords they come with 5-10 Family members that all can lead Armys and Troops direct from the start.

[Mogges]

Ah ok. For asking a foreign lord to join me I need 100% relationship and a multiple choice questionnaire? What If I do not even get proposed the right questions? I met several and already tried to convince them but never saw any "join fraction" question. For the companions: would have been a great feature, indeed. Well thought, but realization very bad, as it looks like.
